Conor McGregor testifies about cocaine use and denies rape allegations in court

Conor McGregor testified in court that he took cocaine with Nikita Hand before they arrived at a hotel, where he denies allegations of rape. He stated that Hand was "moaning with pleasure" during their encounter and claimed she was consenting. McGregor, who is being sued by Hand for damages, expressed fear during police questioning and followed his lawyers' advice to remain silent on many questions. He asserted that Hand's account of events has changed multiple times. James Lawrence, a co-defendant, testified that he had consensual sex with Hand and denied any involvement in her injuries. He stated he never took cocaine and refuted claims that he was a "patsy" in the case. The trial continues.
