Nikita Hand, who accused the Straffan-based sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a High Court civil case.

Straffan resident Conor McGregor's fiancée Dee Devlin said their family "stands strong" after his loss in a rape civil case in Dublin.

Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a High Court civil case.

Devlin said: "My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world".

She added: "Conor and I dealt with these issues privately many years ago, as should be done in a relationship and we have come out stronger than ever...We have four beautiful children now whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who he is and who we are!"

Commenting after Nikita Hand won her case, Chief Executive of Dublin Rape Crisis Centre, Rachel Morrogh, said: "Nikita had a right to live a life free of sexual violence, just like every other woman who has ever experienced it. It is important to victims and survivors and to the wider public that when that right is violated, justice is served in the way that it was today."
