A woman has accused MMA fighter Conor McGregor of raping her at Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 9. The allegations were laid out in a letter from attorney Ariel Mitchell to McGregor, the NBA, and the Miami Heat. According to the letter, McGregor “violently” sexually assaulted Mitchell’s client in a bathroom at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
Furthermore, the letter accuses security guards of separating the alleged victim from her friend and forcing her into a men’s bathroom. McGregor and his own security were reportedly already inside. The MMA fighter then proceeded to “violently kiss” the woman before forcing her to perform oral sex on him, Mitchell alleges. As the letter continues, McGregor allegedly attempted to sodomize the woman. Despite this, she was reportedly able to escape after elbowing the Irish fighter repeatedly. However, she reportedly left her purse behind and had to plead for McGregor’s team to return it to her.
McGregor’s Alleged Victim Seeks Settlement
The woman reported the assault on the morning of June 11. She was reportedly encouraged to retain an attorney by a police officer whom she spoke to at the time. In Mitchell’s letter, which was sent earlier this week, the attorney lays out her client’s preferred method of restitution. According to Mitchell, her client is seeking a settlement as opposed to litigation. The letter reportedly did not specify the amount of damages being sought.
McGregor had a fairly prominent role in Game 4 of the Finals. As well as attending the game, he was scheduled to do an advertisement for a brand of pain relief spray. However, his involvement will be remembered for hospitalizing the man playing the Heat’s mascot during the promotional skit. In regard to the rape allegations, McGregor denies any wrongdoing. “The allegations are false,” a representative for McGregor said on June 15, “Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated.” This is a developing story and any updates can be found here on HotNewHipHop.
