A Dublin high court has been told today how mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor “in effect raped” a woman during an alleged incident at a hotel in the capital back in 2018, with the victim seeking damages against the 36-year-old and another defendant in a civil case.
McGregor, a mixed martial arts star under the banner of UFC, appeared in court this morning alongside another defendant, James Lawrence, in relation to an alleged sexual assault on December 9, 2018.
Alleged to have “in effect raped” Nikita Ni Laimhin during the alleged incident, Conor McGregor’s defense lawyers claimed the Dublin woman was attempting to extort the former UFC lightweight and featherweight championship holder.
