Woman testifies in court against Conor McGregor in assault case

A woman testified in an Irish court on Tuesday, accusing Conor McGregor of sexually assaulting her in a Dublin hotel in 2018. This civil case seeks financial damages and began after the woman filed her claim in 2021. McGregor attended the High Court as the case commenced, which is expected to last about two weeks. He and another man, James Lawrence, are named as defendants. McGregor's spokesperson has denied the allegations, noting that police did not pursue criminal charges. During her testimony, the woman described feeling uncomfortable and stated that McGregor did not respect her refusal to engage in sexual activity. A gynecologist also testified, describing the woman's emotional state and physical injuries observed after the incident. McGregor's lawyers plan to argue that the encounter was consensual.
