Nikita Hand testifies about alleged rape by Conor McGregor in ongoing civil case
Nikita Hand has accused MMA fighter Conor McGregor and another man of raping her in December 2018. During her civil case, a recording was played in court where she expressed fear of naming her alleged attacker, saying, "he'll f****** kill me." Both McGregor and co-defendant James Lawrence deny the allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual. Hand described being choked and feeling unable to breathe during the incident, while her boyfriend urged her to disclose details about what happened. The court has heard conflicting accounts, including CCTV footage that McGregor's lawyer claims contradicts Hand's story. Hand maintains that the footage does not change her experience, stating, "I know what happened to me. I was brutally raped and battered." The trial is ongoing.
