Cases
latest first- Supreme Court rejects McGregor appeal in Dublin rape case Rape (alleged) · Co. Dublin
Nikita Hand, a woman aged 35, alleges that Conor McGregor, a man aged 36, raped her and that James Lawrence, a man aged 36, also sexually assaulted her in the penthouse of the Beacon Hotel in Sandyford, Dublin, on 9 December 2018. The DPP declined to prosecute McGregor or Lawrence in 2020, but Hand brought a civil damages action in 2021. A High Court jury in November 2024 found McGregor liable for the assault and awarded Hand €248,603 in damages, while finding Lawrence not liable. The Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed McGregor's appeal in July 2025, and the Supreme Court rejected his further appeal in December 2025. Gardaí are investigating Samantha O'Reilly and Stephen Cummins for alleged perjury arising from affidavits withdrawn at the start of the appeal.
