Conor McGregor Sued for Alleged Sexual Assault at NBA Finals Game 4, Seeks Compensatory Damages
Jan 16, 2025, 12:00 AM
Conor McGregor, a former UFC champion, is facing a civil lawsuit filed by a woman accusing him of sexual assault during Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals in Miami. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, also names the Miami Heat and Basketball Properties LLC, which operates the Kaseya Center, as defendants. The plaintiff, identified as a 49-year-old Wall Street vice-president, alleges that McGregor assaulted her in a bathroom at the arena after the game between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets on June 9, 2023. McGregor has denied the allegations, with his attorney, Barbara Llanes, stating that the case will be dismissed. The suit seeks compensatory damages exceeding $75,000, medical expenses, and other relief. The incident was initially reported to Miami police on June 11, 2023, but the Florida State Attorney’s Office declined to pursue criminal charges. The lawsuit also highlights an earlier incident that night when McGregor punched the Miami Heat mascot, Burnie, during a halftime skit, resulting in Burnie's hospitalization. The plaintiff's attorney, Jim Dunn, noted that the civil suit is the only remaining avenue for justice for his client, who aims to raise awareness about sexual assault.
