Dublin woman sues Conor McGregor for alleged sexual assault in hotel penthouse

A woman in Dublin is suing mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor, claiming he raped her in a hotel penthouse in 2018. The case is being heard in the High Court, where McGregor's lawyers allege the woman is attempting extortion. The court heard that the woman, Nikita Ni Laimhin, was assaulted after a night out. She claims McGregor pinned her down and assaulted her, while McGregor's defense argues the encounter was consensual and that she had opportunities to report the incident. The trial is expected to last about two weeks. The jury will determine the facts of the case based on the evidence presented.
