A woman who accused mixed martial artist Conor McGregor of raping her in a hotel penthouse in 2018 was awarded nearly 250,000 euros, or about $260,000, in damages on Friday after a jury found him guilty of sexual assault in a civil trial in Dublin.
McGregor has previously been the subject of a criminal investigation in his native Ireland over the allegations, but has not been charged.
After the verdict was handed down Friday, the woman, Nikita Hand, spoke outside the courthouse, her hands shaking as she read a page of remarks. She said she hoped the outcome would serve as a signal to victims of sexual abuse to “speak up”.
“You have a voice,” she said.
