Superstar UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been accused of sexual assault by a woman who recently came forward following Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Disturbing details surrounding the incident were disclosed through demand letters written by attorney Ariel Mitchell and later obtained by TMZ Sports.
According to the letter, McGregor is alleged to have committed a violent sexual assault against the woman inside a men’s bathroom shortly after the Denver Nuggets victory over the Miami Heat at the Kaseya Center on June 9.
Copies of these letters were received by McGregor, the NBA, and the Heat. Without delay, McGregor’s representatives denied the allegations, vehemently asserting their falsehood in a statement released to TMZ.

In the letters, attorney Ariel Mitchell claims that security personnel from the NBA and the Heat played a role in separating the woman from her friend, ultimately coercing her into a restroom where McGregor and his security team were present. Shockingly, Mitchell states that McGregor’s security personnel prevented the woman from leaving or allowing anyone, including her friend, to enter the bathroom. It was at this point that McGregor purportedly emerged from a stall, forcefully kissing the victim by intruding his tongue into her mouth.

According to TMZ’s report on the letters, the woman managed to temporarily fend off McGregor by claiming she needed to use the restroom. However, she claims that McGregor then compelled her to engage in non-consensual oral sex. The situation escalated further when McGregor allegedly grabbed the woman and pinned her against the wall, attempting to subject her to further sexual assault.
In a desperate attempt to escape, the woman resorted to repeatedly elbowing McGregor until she could break free. In her haste to flee, she unintentionally left behind her purse, which McGregor’s security team allegedly held “hostage” until she pleaded for its return.
After safely leaving the scene, the woman promptly reported the assault to local authorities. Mitchell stated that the woman is currently seeking a settlement from McGregor, the NBA, and the Heat instead of pursuing immediate legal action.
The gravity of the allegations against McGregor necessitates a thorough investigation to ascertain the truth. As this distressing incident unfolds, the sports world anxiously awaits further developments in the case.
