Conor McGregor Faces Civil Trial Over Alleged Assault in Dublin

The jury hears closing arguments in a civil case where McGregor is accused of rape and battery against Nikita Hand in 2018.

Conor McGregor is accused of brutally raping and assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin hotel in December 2018, a charge he denies, claiming the encounter was consensual.
The jury was advised to focus solely on the evidence presented, rather than personal biases or media portrayals of McGregor.
Defense attorney Remy Farrell highlighted inconsistencies in Hand's account, citing CCTV footage and text messages as evidence against her claims.
Hand's attorney, John Gordon, argued that McGregor's testimony was dishonest and that his client suffered PTSD from the alleged assault.
The case involves another defendant, James Lawrence, whom Hand also accuses of assault, and the jury must determine the credibility of the conflicting testimonies.
