Conor McGregor accuser will be 'a marked woman', Dublin jury told
The Guardian
|November 20, 2024
A woman who alleges the Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor brutally raped her after a Christmas party six years ago in Dublin will "always be a marked woman," simply because she had the courage to stand up to the fighter, a jury has been told.
John Gordon, senior counsel for Nikita Hand, also known as Nikita Ní Laimhín, told the eight women and four men in Dublin's high court they had been "subjected to arrogant, distasteful, dishonest testimony" by the fighter.
In his closing speech to a packed high court in Dublin, with McGregor and the plaintiff sitting just feet away from each other, he described McGregor's alleged behaviour as savage, cowardly and devious.
