Mixed Martial Arts superstar Conor McGregor has been found liable in a civil court case involving allegations of sexual assault by Nikita Hand.
The jury ruled in favor of Hand, awarding her damages of nearly €250,000 after determining that McGregor had raped her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
Hand described the incident as a “brutal” attack that left her with severe bruising and lasting emotional trauma.
McGregor, who has previously denied the allegations, has not issued a public statement on the ruling. Despite the landmark victory for Hand, the jury dismissed a separate lawsuit she had filed against another man for assault.
This decision could mark a turning point for McGregor, a figure often in the spotlight for both his athletic achievements and legal controversies.
The case raises questions about the potential impact on his career and public image, as well as the broader conversation surrounding accountability in the sports world
