MMA fighter Conor McGregor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman after Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 9. According to the woman’s attorney, her client was assaulted in a bathroom at the Kaseya Center. The allegations were detailed in a letter to McGregor, the NBA, and the Miami Heat. After being separated from her friend by security guards, the woman was taken to a men’s bathroom where McGregor was waiting for her. McGregor reportedly “violently kissed” the woman before reportedly forcing her to perform oral sex on him. Furthermore, she allegedly only escaped after elbowing McGregor repeatedly when he allegedly attempted to sodomize her. McGregor has denied all the allegations made against him.
The alleged victim reported the incident to the police on the morning of June 11. Miami PD has since confirmed to TMZ that they have been investigating the incident for most of this week. In her letter, the woman’s attorney stated her client was seeking a settlement as opposed to litigation.

TMZ has reportedly obtained footage that appears to show the moments before the assault reportedly occured. McGregor is seen leaving a bathroom with his personal security, taking a woman by the hand and leading her back into the bathroom. The footage appears to contradict claims that the victim was forced into the bathroom by arena security. However, the footage does corroborate details about security preventing anyone from entering or exiting the bathroom after they go inside.
The woman’s attorney provided additional context, stating her client had been partying with McGregor earlier in the night and believed she was being taken to his hotel. In response to the video, McGregor’s attorney issued a statement.”After the video was released by TMZ, the claimant’s lawyer now has changed her story. Mr. McGregor welcomes the investigation, which he firmly believes will show the claims against him are false. After not responding to the demand for money made by claimant’s counsel, she turned to the media to apply pressure. This is no more than a shakedown.”
