Conor McGregor Sued for Alleged Sexual Assault

A woman has filed a civil lawsuit against Conor McGregor, alleging he sexually assaulted her following the Miami Heat's NBA Finals game against the Denver Nuggets on June 9, 2023. The lawsuit, filed in Florida, claims McGregor assaulted her in a bathroom and accuses the Miami Heat and its security staff of gross negligence for overserving him alcohol and failing to protect her. McGregor's attorney has expressed confidence that the case will be dismissed, citing a previous criminal investigation that found no grounds for charges. The plaintiff, a 49-year-old Wall Street vice president, is seeking damages for medical costs and other compensations, emphasizing her aim to raise awareness about sexual assault. Her attorney stated that the decision to pursue this civil case was difficult due to potential repercussions on her career. The incident has garnered attention following a similar legal issue involving McGregor in Ireland, where he was found liable for assault.
