Conor McGregor Accused of Sexual Assault in New Lawsuit

The Allegations

The lawsuit, filed in Florida, accuses McGregor of assaulting a 49-year-old woman during an NBA game at the Kaseya Center, home of the Miami Heat, on June 9, 2023.

• What she claims: The woman says McGregor grabbed her and forced her into a men’s restroom, where he allegedly assaulted her.
• McGregor’s response: He denies the allegations. Authorities decided not to file criminal charges, but the civil lawsuit is moving forward.

What Happened That Night

According to the woman and her friend:

• They tried to leave the arena before the incident.
• A member of McGregor’s team allegedly blocked their exit and told the woman to meet McGregor.
• Security at the Kaseya Center allegedly stopped the friend from following the woman and McGregor into the restroom.

The lawsuit also accuses the arena staff of negligence, claiming they gave McGregor “special treatment,” let him pour his drinks and didn’t step in when things got out of hand.

What She’s Asking For

The woman seeks over $75,000 in damages, medical costs, and other compensation. If she wins the case, the court will decide the exact amount.

McGregor’s Legal Team Speaks Out

McGregor’s lawyer, Barbara Llanes, says prosecutors have already decided there isn’t enough evidence for criminal charges. She’s calling the woman’s claims a “new false story” and expects the case to be dismissed.

McGregor’s Past Legal Issues

This isn’t the first time McGregor has faced serious accusations:

• In 2023, another woman claimed he violently assaulted her, but no criminal charges were filed.
• In 2018, a jury in Dublin found McGregor liable for assaulting a woman and awarded her $257,000. He denied those claims and said he would appeal.
• In 2018, McGregor also faced criminal charges after a backstage brawl at a UFC event but avoided jail by pleading guilty to disorderly conduct.

Why This Matters

Conor McGregor isn’t just a former fighter—he’s a global celebrity and, at one point, the highest-paid athlete in the world. Allegations like these put his reputation and career in serious jeopardy.

While McGregor denies all accusations, the lawsuits keep coming. Time will tell how this one plays out in court.
