A woman won her civil case against Conor McGregor after a High Court jury found that he raped her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018. The jury awarded her nearly €250,000 in damages. The proceedings were reported on 22 November 2024.

The award comprised general and special damages. The jury did not award aggravated or exemplary damages. It also found that James Lawrence did not rape the woman.

The woman alleged that McGregor pinned her down and choked her before raping her. McGregor denied the allegation and said they had consensual sex. He denied causing her bruises and said they could have been caused when she dived into a bath.

Mr Justice Alexander Owens presided over the case, which opened on 5 November.
