Summary
An Irish civil jury ordered MMA fighter Conor McGregor to pay €250,000 in damages to Nikita Hand, who accused him of raping and assaulting her in a Dublin hotel in 2018.
Hand alleged McGregor choked and brutally assaulted her during the incident, leaving her with severe injuries and PTSD.
McGregor denied the allegations, claiming the encounter was consensual.
The jury reached its decision after six hours of deliberation.
Hand, who received widespread support, encouraged other victims to come forward, stating, “Speak up, no matter how afraid you might be.”
Not just athletes, but politicians, CEOs, rock stars, pretty much anyone that has money doesn’t have to abide by laws.
“If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”
That would appear to include rape now.
For the wealthy it always has done.
