Conor McGregor Accused of Violent Sexual Assault and Battering of Woman at NBA Finals in Miami

UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been accused of violently sexually assaulting and battering a woman in a bathroom at Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Miami on June 9. According to legal documents obtained by CBS News, the woman’s attorney described a graphic incident of sexual assault in a letter, claiming that McGregor, with help from security guards of the NBA and Miami Kaseya Center, allegedly physically forced the woman into the VIP bathroom, separating her from her friend and trapping her inside with the fighter and his security guard.

The Miami Heat released a statement saying they are aware of the allegations and are conducting an investigation. The team said, “Pending the outcome of the investigation, we will withhold further comment.”

McGregor’s lawyer has denied the allegations, saying in a statement to NBC News that “the allegations are false.”

The woman, who has not been identified, is seeking damages for physical and emotional distress, pain and suffering, and medical expenses. Her attorney has requested a response from McGregor by July 9.

The incident is currently under investigation and no charges have been filed. This is not the first time McGregor has been accused of misconduct. In 2019, he was arrested in Miami Beach for allegedly smashing a fan’s phone. He was also arrested in 2018 for allegedly attacking a bus full of UFC fighters.
