Conor McGregor testifies in court denying rape allegations and claims encounter was consensual
Conor McGregor testified in court, claiming the woman accusing him of rape is "full of lies." He stated their sexual encounter in December 2018 was consensual and described it as "vigorous" and "athletic." He denied any allegations of choking or rough behavior. McGregor and his friend James Lawrence are being sued by Nikita Hand, who alleges they both raped her after a party. McGregor argued that her bruises could have been caused by other incidents and expressed shock at the severity of her injuries. DNA matching McGregor was found on Hand's body and clothing. He described the allegations as frightening and stated he wanted all evidence to be presented in court. The cross-examination of McGregor is ongoing.
