Conor McGregor testifies in High Court over sexual assault allegations
Conor McGregor began giving evidence in a High Court civil suit where he is accused of sexual assault by Nikita Hand. He denies the allegations, claiming their sexual encounter was consensual and without distress. McGregor described their sexual activity as "vigorous" and "energetic," asserting that any bruising on Ms. Hand was not caused by him. He suggested the bruises may have resulted from her actions after their encounter. The case involves separate claims against McGregor and another man, James Lawrence, for alleged assaults at Dublin's Beacon Hotel in December 2018. Both men deny the allegations. Cross-examination of McGregor will continue on Thursday.
