McGregor referred to penis and said 'suck on that', plaintiff tells alleged rape damages trial

Summary

In a High Court civil damages action, Nikita Hand alleges that Conor McGregor and James Lawrence raped her at the Beacon Hotel penthouse in Dublin in December 2018. Hand says she walked away when McGregor told her "suck on that" referring to his penis. A doctor testified that Hand had bruises on her neck, hands, arms, knees, thighs, back and a nine‑centimetre scratch on her right breast. Hand also claims oral, vaginal‑digital and vaginal penetration by McGregor, all non‑consensual. McGregor and Lawrence deny the allegations. The case is set to continue before Mr Justice Alexander Owens and a jury of eight women and four men, with the trial expected to last two weeks.
