Conor McGregor's civil trial begins in Dublin over 2018 sexual assault allegations

Conor McGregor's civil trial began in Dublin on November 5, 2024, over allegations of sexual assault from 2018. Nikita Ni Lamhain claims McGregor and another man assaulted her while she was intoxicated in a hotel room. Dr. Daniel Kane, an ER gynecologist, testified that Lamhain had visible injuries, including bruising and a laceration, after the incident. She is seeking damages between $1.79 million and $2.13 million for lost wages and medical expenses. The trial will determine whether McGregor was the perpetrator, as both parties acknowledge a sexual encounter occurred. The trial is expected to last about two weeks.
