Dublin, Ireland — In a heated courtroom scene, Conor McGregor vehemently denied allegations of sexual assault, describing the claims as “full of lies” during his testimony. The accusations stem from an incident on December 9, 2018, at Dublin’s Beacon Hotel, where McGregor admitted to having “athletic” and “vigorous” consensual sex with the accuser, Nikita Hand.
McGregor recounted the events, suggesting that any bruises on Ms. Hand could have been from a fall into a bathtub the same day or from her activities the night before. He was adamant that he was not the cause of the injuries shown in the photos presented by the police. “I’ll tell you where she did not get them, from me,” McGregor stated firmly in court.
During the cross-examination, when asked about the specific allegations of using an arm lock, McGregor dismissed it outright, insisting that Ms. Hand was lying about the events. He emphasized the consensual nature of their encounter, describing it as “happy” and “energetic.”
The discussion took a candid turn when McGregor addressed the presence of a tampon, which he denied seeing during their encounter. He speculated that it must have been introduced afterward, maintaining that there was no sign of blood at any point.
The lawsuit involves not only McGregor but also another man, James Lawrence, who has also been accused by Ms. Hand of sexual assault on the same evening. Both men have denied the allegations against them.
The trial, which continues to gather significant media attention, sees Ms. Hand, a 35-year-old hair colorist, seeking damages for the alleged assaults. The legal proceedings are set to continue with McGregor’s cross-examination expected to carry on.
The public and media scrutiny surrounding this case is heightened due to McGregor’s celebrity status, making it a closely watched legal battle. The implications of this case extend beyond the personal legal troubles for McGregor, potentially impacting his professional engagements and sponsorships.
As the court adjourns, the anticipation and debate over the outcome continue to swirl outside the courtroom. With the legal arguments resuming Thursday, all eyes will once again be on the Dublin High Court.
