Conor McGregor isn’t happening with no struggle. The combined martial arts fighter slammed new sexual assault allegations as a “shakedown.”
The Dublin-born UFC champ, 34, was accused this week of sexually assaulting a girl on June 9, following the sport 4 of the NBA finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat, TMZ reported Thursday. Video has been launched exhibiting McGregor and his accuser outdoors the lavatory on the Heat’s Kaseya Center, the place the alleged sufferer claims McGregor attacked her.
“After the video was released by TMZ, the claimant’s lawyer now has changed her story. Mr. McGregor welcomes the investigation, which he firmly believes will show the claims against him are false,” McGregor’s authorized group informed TMZ Sports.
“After not responding to the demand for money made by claimant’s counsel, she turned to the media to apply pressure. This is no more than a shakedown.”
The alleged sufferer’s lawyer claims McGregor’s safety group wouldn’t “let” her depart the lavatory and that the fighter “shoved his tongue in the victim’s mouth and aggressively kissed her.”
McGregor, based on the girl’s lawyer, pressured her to carry out oral intercourse on him and in addition tried to sodomize her earlier than she was finally capable of escape.
The Heat launched a press release that it’s “aware” of the accusations made towards McGregor and are conducting a full investigation.
“Pending the outcome of the investigation, we will withhold further comment,” continued the group.
This is hardly the primary time McGregor has confronted authorized troubles, and even sexual assault allegations. Past incidents embrace expenses for strong-arm theft and prison mischief in 2019 following an incident with a fan. Last yr, the Dublin-area native was arrested within the Irish capital for driving offenses.
In each 2018 and 2019, ladies accused McGregor of assaulting them in Dublin.
