Conor McGregor has lost his appeal in a rape case, with Ireland's Court of Appeals ruling against him and upholding a jury's previous decision. The court mandated that McGregor pay 250,000 euros in damages and 1.3 million euros in legal costs to Nikita Hand, who accused him of assault in a Dublin hotel in 2018. McGregor, denying the allegations, failed to present additional evidence in his appeal, which was rejected unanimously by three judges. Hand described the court proceedings as 'retraumatizing' but expressed a desire to heal.
Conor McGregor's appeal in a rape case was rejected by Ireland's Court of Appeals, reaffirming the jury's decision that found him civilly liable for assault on Nikita Hand.
The court ordered McGregor to pay nearly 250,000 euros in damages and about 1.3 million euros in legal costs, affirming the findings from a prior jury verdict.
Nikita Hand expressed that the legal proceedings had 'retraumatized' her, but she hopes to 'move on and try to heal' after the appeals process.
McGregor has previously denied the allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual, while the court found evidence of his attempts to influence testimony.
