Woman accuses Conor McGregor of rape in Dublin hotel as civil case unfolds

A woman, Nikita Ni Laimhin, is seeking civil damages from MMA fighter Conor McGregor, alleging he raped her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018. She described feeling unable to breathe and fearing for her life during the incident. In court, Ni Laimhin recounted extensive physical injuries and emotional trauma, stating she has struggled with mental health issues since the alleged assault. She expressed disappointment that the Director of Public Prosecutions did not pursue criminal charges against McGregor. McGregor's legal team plans to argue that the encounter was consensual. Ni Laimhin's testimony continues as the case unfolds in the High Court in Dublin.
