Conor McGregor’s Civil Lawsuit Dropped After Plaintiff Withdraws
BREAKING: A civil lawsuit against UFC star Conor McGregor has been dropped, marking a significant development in a case that alleged sexual assault at an NBA game in 2023. The dismissal occurred in U.S. District Court on Wednesday, after the plaintiff, a 49-year-old business executive, voluntarily filed for dismissal.
The woman accused McGregor of sexual battery during a Miami Heat game on June 8, 2023, at Kaseya Center in Miami. She initially filed the civil suit against both McGregor and the Miami Heat on January 14. However, the Florida State Attorney’s Office opted not to pursue criminal charges related to the incident.
On Tuesday, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice, meaning no further legal action will be pursued regarding the allegations. McGregor, who is currently 37 years old, has consistently denied all accusations against him.
The lawsuit detailed that McGregor engaged in conversation with the woman in the Courtside Club before allegedly escorting her to the men’s restroom, where the assault was claimed to have occurred. This recent dismissal starkly contrasts with a previous legal matter where McGregor was found liable in a sexual assault case in Ireland from 2018, resulting in a court-ordered payment of €248,000, approximately $257,000. His appeal against that verdict was denied.
As it stands, McGregor has not competed in mixed martial arts since suffering a severe leg injury in a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. He has expressed a desire to make a competitive return at the UFC’s White House card in June, raising questions about his future in the sport amid these legal challenges.
This developing situation will likely continue to attract attention, impacting both McGregor’s personal life and professional career. Stay tuned for more updates as this story unfolds.
