Jury sworn in for civil trial against Conor McGregor over sexual assault allegations
A jury has been sworn in for a civil trial against Conor McGregor, who is accused of sexual assault by Nikita Ní Laimhín. The trial, overseen by Mr Justice Alexander Owens, is expected to last two weeks. Ní Laimhín claims McGregor assaulted her on December 9, 2018, which McGregor denies. The case was filed in 2021, and McGregor is present in court. Mr Justice Owens explained that this is a civil case, not a criminal one, and the jury will determine the facts based on evidence presented in court.
