The Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor raped a woman in a Dublin hotel, the city’s high court has been told.
Nikita Ní Laimhín is claiming civil damages against McGregor and another man, alleging she was sexually assaulted in 2018.
But, the court heard on Tuesday, McGregor’s lawyers say Ní Laimhín, who has no automatic right to anonymity, is attempting extortion.
The fighter, nicknamed “Notorious”, was in court to hear Justice Alexander Owens tell the jury it is alleged Ní Laimhín was sexually assaulted by McGregor and James Lawrence on 9 December.
The judge said it was alleged that the pair had “in effect raped her”.
The court was told McGregor collected Ní Laimhín, a hairdresser in Dublin, and her friend after a Christmas party on 8 December.
John Gordon SC, for Ní Laimhín, said that she and McGregor were known to each other as they were in the same age group, from the same area and had mutual friends and had been in contact at various times through social media.
At the time she lived in the Dublin suburb of Drimnagh with her partner and seven-year-old daughter. She had been out with friends on the night of the alleged incident.
Gordon said McGregor was “enormously famous” and was considered a “hero” around Drimnagh.
He claimed that his client was “no angel” and “doesn’t pretend to be an angel”. On the night, she had been drinking and had taken some cocaine. The court also heard that she suffered from depression and had been on antidepressants.
The court was told that later on in the night, Ní Laimhín and two of her friends returned to her salon, where they continued to party and at some point she contacted McGregor. He collected her and her friend in his car, and Ní Laimhín understood they were to be taken to another party.
McGregor sat in the back seat with the two women, while his driver took them around housing estates and beeped the horn. They later went to the home of Lawrence, who joined them in the car.
The court was told that McGregor had a bag of cocaine, which was shared between him, Ní Laimhín and her friend.
Ní Laimhín, McGregor, his security team and others then went to a penthouse suite in the Beacon hotel in Dublin. The court was told that they were all drinking and laughing.
At one point, McGregor allegedly went into a bedroom and beckoned Ní Laimhín to join him. The court was told that McGregor “came on to her”, but she did not want to have sexual intercourse with him as she was on her period.
Gordon told the court that she alleged that McGregor pinned her down on the bed and that she was no physical match for him. “She will tell you that she was nervous, that she tried to push him off her but she was completely unable to do so,” he added.
He 100% did that shyt. No person will blow up their whole life( gone, daughter possibly taken away, all employers will know she was using coke, time lost from work to attend court) if he didn't do that shyt.
