A woman who accused Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor of raping her in a Dublin, Ireland hotel has won her claim against him for damages in a High Court civil case

The jury in the civil case against Mr McGregor delivered its verdict on Friday afternoon.

The total amount of damages awarded to Hand by the jury was $250.000. He has since revealed he will be appealing the court’s ‘disappointing’ decision.

Hand, 35, cried and was hugged by an ally and supporters. A number of police were in the courtroom as the verdict was delivered. Nikita Hand said the weeks of her civil case against Conor McGregor have been a “nightmare”.

Speaking after winning her claim against him for damages in a High Court civil case, Ms Hand said: “I would like to start off by saying I’m overwhelmed and touched by the support I have received from everybody.”

Mr McGregor had faced an accusation that he “brutally raped and battered” Nikita Hand at a hotel in south Dublin in December 2018.

The Irish sports star previously told the court he had consensual sex with Ms Hand in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel.
