Woman sues Conor McGregor for alleged sexual assault in Dublin hotel
A woman is suing Conor McGregor, claiming he sexually assaulted her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018. Nikita Hand alleges he choked her multiple times during the incident. McGregor denies the allegations and his lawyers accuse her of extortion. In 2020, Irish authorities decided not to pursue criminal charges against McGregor due to insufficient evidence. The civil case allows both parties to be publicly identified, unlike criminal proceedings in Ireland. Hand described her distressing experience in court, stating she feared for her life. Hand claims she was choked and raped after a night out, despite telling McGregor she was not interested in sex. She has since faced mental health challenges, lost her job, and is now on disability allowance. The case is ongoing.
