A civil lawsuit has been filed against former UFC star Conor McGregor in a US court. Alleging that the Irishman sexually assaulted him at an NBA game. The Florida State Attorney’s office declined to pursue a criminal charge against McGregor. That included the alleged incident, which occurred in 2023. In court filings, the unnamed lady claims that she was sexually attacked in the restrooms of the Miami Heat’s Kaseya Centre in June 2023.
They two were in the hospitality section, and two days later, the women reported the event. In an email, her lawyer James Dunn stated that she had chosen to file the action at this time due to a media source obtaining her identity. Less than 48 hours after the claimed sexual assault, on June 11, 2023, at 6 p.m. An incident report was submitted to the Miami police department.
In October 2023, the Florida State Attorney’s Office decided not to press charges for the alleged assault. Additionally, in 2023, the 36-year-old refused the accusations. The lawsuit asks the Heat and McGregor for compensatory damages and medical treatment costs. According to an email sent to ESPN by the woman’s lawyer, Jim Dunn. His client is pursuing a legal lawsuit to “raise awareness and encourage others to report sexual assault.”

Dunn said in the emailed statement, “After the Miami-Dade County Prosecutor’s office elected not to pursue criminal charges, a civil case is the only avenue that my client has to seek justice in this case.” Barbara Llanes of Gelber, Schachter & Greenberg, counsel for Conor McGregor said: “After a thorough investigation at the time, the State’s Attorney concluded that there was no case to pursue.”
“Almost two years and at least three lawyers later the plaintiff has a new false story. We are confident that this case too will be dismissed.” In addition to requesting “for past and future medical treatment, compensatory damages and costs. Such other and further relief as (the) Court deems reasonable,” the plaintiff is suing the Kaseya Center’s employees and security for “gross negligence,” according to court filings.
