Conor McGregor's Sexual Assault Lawsuit Dismissed After NBA Finals Incident

A civil lawsuit against Conor McGregor, related to allegations made during the 2023 NBA Finals in Miami, has been dropped by the plaintiff.

A sexual assault lawsuit against former UFC champion Conor McGregor has been dropped. The civil case regarding an alleged incident during the 2023 NBA Finals was dismissed in the U.S. District Court on Wednesday, according to ESPN.

The female plaintiff voluntarily filed for dismissal on Tuesday. This dismissal was made with prejudice, which means that no further litigation can be brought in this matter. McGregor denied all allegations against him, and no criminal charges were pursued by the Florida State Attorney’s Office regarding this case.

The woman, described in the lawsuit as a 49-year-old business executive, accused McGregor of sexual assault during Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets in June 2023 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The alleged incident occurred in the men’s restroom near the Courtside Club inside the arena, home of the Heat.

The plaintiff had initiated a civil lawsuit against McGregor and the Heat in January.

In a separate matter last November, a High Court jury in Ireland found McGregor liable in another sexual assault case, ordering him to pay approximately $258,300 to Nikita Hand. Earlier this year, Ireland’s High Court dismissed McGregor’s appeal.

McGregor, a former two-division UFC champion, has not fought since suffering a leg injury against Dustin Poirier in July 2021 and is currently pushing for a return in a fight scheduled for the White House card this summer.
