New Delhi: UFC megastar found guilty in assault and rape case at Dublin hotel on November 22, Friday. The case was way back in 2018, a woman accused him of raping her at the Dublin Hotel in December 2018 and now after six years McGregor found guilty and penalised nearly about $260,450 as punishment.
Nikita Hand is the woman, who charged the case on the UFC star. The lawyers of Nikita accused McGregor of “brutally raping and battering” Nikita as Nikita invited McGregor to join her at a Christmas party in 2018.
A friend of McGregor also accused by Nikita, James Lawrence who also joined the Christmas party and sexually assaulted her but the jury only convicted McGregor and did not find Lawrence guilty in the case.
After winning the case, Nikita told the media that ‘she is overwhelmed by the support, she received’. She also thanked her family and members of the rape crisis center to have her back in every moment of the case.
Nikita was a little bit disappointed that the jury didn’t hear all the evidence against McGregor. McGregor put tension in the court as he arrived with a large support with him to the court including his wife Dee Devlin, his mother and sister along with his boxing coach, who stood just feet away from Nikita.
Who is Nikita Hand?
Nikita grew up in the same area in Dublin where McGregor enjoyed his childhood days. She worked as a hairdresser before the incident and also her relationship ended after McGregor took her to the penthouse and consumed drugs with her. The public prosecution did not pursue a criminal case against McGregor but gave a verdict to pay damages to Nikita. McGregor denied all the allegations against him and told the jury that it was ‘fully consensual sex’ with Nikita. According to the UFC star, it was all lies against him.
The trials of the case ran over two weeks including a 45-minute recording of a conversation in the court. Nikita was devastated that the public prosecution told her that they wouldn’t progress her file now and fined McGregor with a penalty.
