Conor McGregor has lost his challenge against a High Court jury's finding that he raped Nikita Hand in a Dublin penthouse. Ms Hand sued the former MMA fighter for damages for raping her at the Beacon Hotel on December 9, 2018. Last November, a jury of eight women and four men found that McGregor (37) civilly liable for the assault and awarded her almost €250,000 in damages. Speaking outside the High Court, Ms Hand thanked her legal team, the rape crisis centre, and three judges of the appeal court.
‘I’m deeply grateful for everyone who supported me, believed in me and stood by my side during this long and painful journey. “This appeal has retraumatised me over and over again. “Being forced to relive it, what has happened has had a huge impact on me.”
