Nikita Ni Laimhin, alleged victim in Conor McGregor's sexual assault case breaks silence on her side of events: "I said no, I don’t feel comfortable"
Nikita Ni Laimhin, the alleged victim in the Conor McGregor sexual assault case recently shared some eye-opening remarks while pleading recounting what transpired. It's important to note that this was her recollection of events and the former two-division UFC champion has denied the allegations.
The sexual assault claims stem from a 2018 incident at the Beacon Hotel. Ni Laimhin, who requested to be referred to as Nikita Hand, sought charges in 2021. Both parties will appear before a High Court jury in Dublin, Ireland, to determine whether the UFC star is liable. Since McGregor's case is a civil action rather than a criminal case, it does not appear that he would face prison time.
According to Irish Mirror, Hand recalled what transpired and made it clear that she didn't provide any consent to a sexual encounter with the UFC star. She mentioned that McGregor forced himself onto her and took advantage of her:
"He was coming onto me. He started to try kiss me, rubbing my face. I knew what he was looking for... 'I don't feel comfortable Conor'... I said no, I don’t feel comfortable. I know of Dee, I know her family... I didn't want to have sex and I wasn't there for anything like that. He just wasn't taking no for an answer. He then pinned me onto the bed. Kept telling me to, 'Relax, babe'... I remember putting my arms up against my chest. He just kept pushing his weight down on top of me."

According to Irish Mirror, Hand had consumed cocaine that was given to her by the UFC star. She mentioned that the mood started to change once they were at the Beacon Hotel:
"I remember [the] security guard over the window and another security guard closing the door between the two rooms. I remember panicking. Why is there three men in the room and I'm the only one in here? I also remember walking into the bedroom area and I remember walking the two rooms looking around and Conor was in the bathroom and he said something inappropriate to me. He told me to, 'S*ck on that'."
