A woman who accused mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor of raping her in a hotel penthouse in 2018 was awarded nearly 250 ,000 euros or about $260 ,000 in damages on Friday after a jury found him guilty of sexual assault in a civil trial in Dublin.
McGregor was previously the subject of a criminal investigation in Ireland, his home country, over the allegations but was not charged.
After the verdict Friday, the woman, Nikita Hand, spoke outside the courthouse, her hands shaking as she read the remarks page. She said she hoped the outcome would send a message to victims of sexual assault to "speak out.
"You have a voice," she said.
