Conor McGregor ‘rape victim’ gives clothes ‘that may have his DNA’ to cops after he denied sexual assault
THE woman who alleges that she was raped by Conor McGregor at the NBA Finals has given cops her clothes for DNA analysis.
McGregor has denied the allegations by the woman, who claims she was assaulted in the men’s bathroom at the June 9 NBA game in Florida.
Attorney Ariel Mitchell, who is representing the alleged victim, spoke to The U.S. Sun about the incident.
“My client didn’t seek out money first,” Mitchell said.
“On Sunday, before she hired me or sought out any legal counsel, she went to the police directly.
“And the police escorted her out of the building and told her that if she were to report it right then, within 20 minutes, it would go viral and that she should seek legal counsel to either try to resolve this before she filed a report or to help her navigate it if she did file a report.
“Sunday night, she contacted a former client of mine and then they contacted me.
“On Monday I sent out the demand letters.”
Mitchell sent letters of demand to McGregor and his agent Audie Attar, NBA general counsel/chief compliance officer Rick Buchanan, and Miami Heat executive vice president/chief legal officer Raquel Libman.
“We had our scheduled appointment with the police on Wednesday so yesterday we spent three-and-a-half hours with the police where she filed her report,” Mitchell said.
“She also gave the police clothing that she had on which may contain bodily fluids from Mr. McGregor,” Mitchell continued.
“My client shouldn’t have been turned away on Sunday, then people wonder why women in America don’t report these crimes to the police, because often times they’re turned away.
“It already took her enough courage to go and do it on Sunday.
“She shouldn’t have had to go get lawyers involved just to file a police report.”
MCGREGOR DENIES CLAIMS
Letters from Mitchell allege that McGregor “aggressively kissed” the woman before forcing her to have oral sex with him after the Denver Nuggets’ win against the Miami Heat.
McGregor has denied the claims.
A representative for McGregor told The U.S. Sun the “allegations are false.”
“Mr McGregor will not be intimidated,” the representative said.
It is understood authorities are aware of the claim – but there is no suggestion that McGregor has been arrested.
Lawyers say that the woman is seeking settlements with the NBA, the Heat, and McGregor.
A UFC spokesperson said: “The organization is aware of the recent allegations regarding Conor McGregor and will continue to gather additional details regarding the incident.
“UFC will allow the legal process to play out before making any additional statements.”
A Miami Heat spokesperson added: “We are aware of the allegations and are conducting a full investigation.”
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Miami police for an update on the case and response to the claim that the alleged victim was turned away.
