Conor McGregor Accused of Sexual Assault
The first UFC fighter to hold championships in two weight classes simultaneously was accused of sexually assaulting an unnamed woman during Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat, which was held on the latter's home floor.
According to the accuser's attorney Ariel Mitchell, the security for the NBA and Miami Heat were involved in the incident, as they separated the woman from her friend and forced her into the bathroom where the UFC star was in.
The security team also refused to let the woman exit or allow anyone else, including her friend, to enter the bathroom.
McGregor allegedly shoved his tongue in the victim's mouth and aggressively kissed her. When the victim got off by asking to urinate, the Irishman soon forced the victim to perform oral sex on him and attempted to sodomize her.
McGregor's representatives vehemently denied the allegations.
“The allegations are false. Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated.”
