Conor McGregor is gearing up to appeal a jury’s finding that he sexually assaulted Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in December 2018. Following the verdict, McGregor criticized the decision on social media, suggesting the damages awarded were insufficient. The High Court will soon hear submissions on trial costs. Legal experts point out that the relatively low damages might render the verdict ‘unappealable.’ The case has sparked significant media attention and raises broader discussions about consent, intoxication, and sexual violence.
