Here’s a rewritten version of the article for clarity and readability: --- ### Woman Wins Civil Rape Case Against Conor McGregor A jury in Dublin has ruled in favor of a woman who accused Irish mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor of raping her, awarding her more than €248,000 (£206,000) in damages. The case revolved around allegations that McGregor assaulted Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in December 2018. After a day of deliberations, the High Court jury found McGregor guilty of the assault. Speaking outside the court, Ms. Hand said her victory was a testament to speaking out. “This is a reminder that no matter how afraid you might be, you have a voice,” she stated. ### McGregor to Appeal In response, McGregor announced on social media platform X that he plans to appeal the verdict. “I thank all my supporters worldwide,” he said, adding that he is now focused on his family and future. ### A Split Verdict The jury also deliberated on claims against James Lawrence, 35, of Dublin, who was accused of sexually assaulting Ms. Hand at the same hotel. The jury found that Lawrence did not assault her. Ms. Hand expressed gratitude for the support she received throughout the case. “I want to show my daughter and others that you can stand up for yourself, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served,” she said. ### Details of the Incident The jury heard that Ms. Hand and her colleague, Danielle Kealy, attended a party at the hotel’s penthouse suite after a work Christmas party. The group had been drinking heavily and taking cocaine. Ms. Hand testified that McGregor pinned her to a bed and assaulted her, leaving her with extensive bruises and abrasions. She described being placed in a “chokehold” by McGregor. McGregor denied the allegations, claiming the bruising could have resulted from Ms. Hand “swan diving” into the bath. ### Impact on Ms. Hand’s Life Ms. Hand’s life was deeply affected by the incident. She had to leave her job as a hairdresser, citing mental health struggles. Her relationship ended, she moved out of her home, and her mortgage fell into arrears. She also incurred over €4,000 (£3,326) in medical and therapy expenses but had to stop counseling due to financial constraints. ### A Divisive Case This high-profile case has drawn widespread attention, with McGregor, a global sports figure, maintaining his innocence while Ms. Hand stands by her testimony as a reminder for others to speak out. --- This version maintains the details while improving structure and flow.
