Woman Wins Civil Case Against Conor McGregor for Assault
A woman has successfully won her civil case against Conor McGregor, leading to a jury's ruling that he assaulted her in 2018.
In a significant judgment delivered by the High Court in Dublin, a jury found that Conor McGregor sexually assaulted Nikita Hand in a hotel, compelling the fighter to pay over €248,000 in damages. The jury was deliberating for a substantial period before arriving at their conclusion. Hand had also made allegations against another individual, James Lawrence, who was found not guilty of the charges against him. Upon her victory, Hand expressed gratitude for the support she received and aimed to empower others by encouraging victims of sexual assault to raise their voices and seek justice. Both defendants had maintained that interactions with Ms. Hand were consensual. The judge had previously instructed the jury regarding the standards expected in their judgment.
