Conor McGregor trial judge warns over jury photos

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

At the High Court on 8 November 2024, Judge Alexander Owens warned that photographing jurors is contempt of court during the civil sexual assault case against Conor McGregor.

The warning followed a note from jurors who said someone in the public gallery had pointed a mobile phone at them on 7 November and feared images might be circulated.

The judge said he could not verify the report without an investigation and arranged for a garda to be stationed in the gallery.

McGregor denies the allegations in the civil action; the trial was continuing when the report was published.
