UFC icon Conor McGregor found himself thrust into the spotlight once again as he faced accusations of sexual assault during the Heat vs. Celtics NBA Finals Game.
According to attorney Ariel Mitchell, who is representing the accuser, demand letters have been sent to Conor McGregor, the NBA, and the Miami Heat, providing details of the alleged incident. The assault, as claimed by the attorney, is said to have occurred on June 9 after the game ended.
The woman was reportedly separated from her friend by NBA and Miami Heat security, who guided her into a men's restroom where McGregor and his security guard were already present. 'The Notorious' then compelled the victim to engage in non-consensual oral sexual intercourse.
