A gang of masked men broke into the home of a woman who took a civil case against mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor accusing him of raping her, it can now be revealed.
The incident was referred to at the start of the court case in Dublin but could not be reported until now as it emerged during legal discussion while the jury were not present.
The court heard that unknown masked men had broken into her home, smashed the windows and stabbed her boyfriend on 14 June.
Hand’s counsel, John Gordon, told Judge Owens that he was not suggesting the fighter was behind the attack but that it went some way to explain her anxiety and why she relocated from her home.
That’s par for the course. Other accusers dropped their cases when their cars or houses got torched. During the trial, his acquaintances filmed and photographed the jurors from the gallery, until the judge threatened a closed doors trial. His close relationship with the Kinahan cartel is public knowledge. Over here in Dublin we knew him as a scumbag all his life, just most people (including me) didn’t even know he existed until he became famous in the MMA
