Woman Sues Conor McGregor Over Alleged Sexual Assault At NBA Finals
HuffPost
The woman, who identified herself as a Wall Street executive, reported the UFC fighter to police in 2023 but no criminal charges were filed.
A 49-year-old executive at a “high profile financial institution” filed a civil lawsuit on Tuesday accusing former UFC star Connor McGregor of sexually assaulting her in the bathroom at the Kaseya Center during the 2023 NBA finals in Miami.
The woman, who wishes to remain anonymous to “avoid embarrassment and shame,” previously reported her allegations to police, and prosecutors did not file charges against the UFC fighter. In a statement to HuffPost, her attorney, James Dunn, said that the prosecutor’s office decision to not to pursue a criminal case left a civil lawsuit as her only avenue for justice.
“My client has thought long and hard about the decision to pursue this civil case, and is fearful of the effect it may have on her job on Wall Street,” Dunn said, adding that her main goal in filing the suit is to raise awareness and encourage others to report sexual assault.
An attorney for McGregor told HuffPost on Wednesday that the allegations are false.
“After a thorough investigation at the time, the State’s Attorney concluded that there was no case to pursue,” Barbara Llanes said. “Almost two years and at least three lawyers later the plaintiff has a new false story. We are confident that this case too will be dismissed.”
