Nikita Hand has won her civil legal action against Conor McGregor, whom she accused of raping her in a Dublin hotel on the 9th of December 2018.

Seated on a bench in front of Conor McGregor throughout, she appeared to be in some distress before she was called to give her evidence from the witness box.

She broke down on a number of occasions, often requesting comfort breaks, as she relived what she described as a brutal rape at the hands of McGregor.

She told the jury he pinned her on a bed in the penthouse suite after she rejected his sexual advances.

She got very upset when she recounted how he choked her three times before raping her.

โ€œHe was not taking no for an answer, โ€œ she said, โ€œAnd the more I struggled, the more he liked it.

He denied it, claiming they had โ€œfully consensual sex,โ€ but the jury rejected his version of events.

Ms Hand also sued McGregorโ€™s friend, James Lawrence, for allegedly raping her after McGregor left the hotel, but the jury didnโ€™t find in her favour in relation to him.
