Miami Police, Heat investigating Conor McGregor sexual assault allegations

According to TMZ, UFC star Conor McGregor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman just after Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals, which took place in Miami at the Kaseya Center.

TMZ acquired some demand letters from an attorney named Ariel Mitchell, who wrote that McGregor “violently” sexually assaulted a woman inside a men’s restroom just after the conclusion of the game. TMZ said the letters also claimed security members of the NBA and Miami Heat sequestered the woman into the bathroom before McGregor committed the alleged assault.

Following the publishing of the TMZ article, both the Miami Heat organization and the Miami Police Department notified the public that they are each investigating the situation. The Heat’s team Twitter account released their statement on Thursday afternoon, writing:

“We are aware of the allegations and are conducting a full investigation. Pending the outcome of the investigation, we will withhold further comment.”

TMZ also updated its initial story after the Miami Police revealed that they are investigating the situation. Here was that report: “The Miami Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports it has been investigating the allegations since Sunday — and the probe remains ongoing.”

Per TMZ, the letters say the woman tried to get away after being shoved into the men’s restroom, but McGregor forced her to have oral sex with him and also attempted to sodomize her. Eventually, says TMZ, the woman got away but left her purse behind. However, after pleading with the aforementioned security guards, she was able to get the purse back, leave the arena and report the incident to local authorities.

In the letters acquired by TMZ, Mitchell also states that the victim is seeking a settlement from the NBA, the Miami Heat and Conor McGregor rather than launch an investigation into the incident.

McGregor and his people aren’t too worried about the whole ordeal just yet. His team announced shortly after the news broke that the “allegations are false” and “Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated” as they fight this.
