Dublin: So, here’s the scoop. Conor McGregor just got hit with a court order in Ireland. He can’t share any CCTV footage related to a civil case where a jury found him guilty of raping a woman back in 2018.
This whole thing has been a big deal. The court also slapped him with a hefty legal bill of about 1.3 million euros, plus nearly 250,000 euros in damages. Ouch!
The woman, Nikita Hand, claimed McGregor assaulted her in a hotel. After a three-week trial, she won her case and was awarded damages. But now, McGregor’s trying to appeal the decision.
During the court session, it came out that McGregor’s legal team was looking to share some of that CCTV footage, which raised a lot of eyebrows. The judge was not having it, especially after some social media chatter suggested the footage might be released soon.
The judge made it clear that if McGregor leaked that footage, it would be a serious breach of court rules and a violation of Hand’s privacy. He ordered McGregor to return all copies of the footage and delete any files he had.
McGregor’s been warned that any attempt to undermine the court’s findings could land him in hot water. The judge emphasized that this isn’t just about the legalities; it’s about respecting the privacy of the victim.
In the end, McGregor has a week to hand over the footage and until February 12 to show the court what he’s done to prevent any leaks. It’s a messy situation, and it looks like it’s far from over.
