Video emerges of Conor McGregor, accuser of alleged sexual assault
There’s new video that shows Conor McGregor take a woman by the hand and lead her into a men’s bathroom at the Kaseya Center during the an NBA final series game between the Heat and Nuggets.
A woman accused McGregor, the UFC star, of sexually assaulting her in the men’s room of the arena. TMZ Sports published the exclusive video, Friday.
However, the video doesn’t appear to support part of the woman’s accusations. According to Ariel Mitchell, the accuser’s lawyer, NBA and Miami Heat security workers “physically forced” the woman into the bathroom. While in the rest room, the woman said she was assaulted. She said security wouldn’t let her leave the bathroom or let her friend come in with her.
TMZ did point out that three men who appear to be security guards stood in front of the door after Conor McGregor and the woman went into the bathroom.
Mitchell acknowledged that her client and McGregor had been partying at a private club inside the arena. Mitchell said McGregor excused himself to go to the restroom. But the lawyer said someone wearing a Nuggets jersey came up to her client saying McGregor wanted her to come with him. Mitchell said her client thought they were leaving to go to his room at the Four Seasons hotel.
Mitchell told TMZ Sports that her client had consumed several drinks. The video, she said, helped refresh her memory.

“My client remembers having no less than six drinks that night,” Mitchell said. “And has admitted the parts she recalls. My client did not even recall who led her into the restroom until seeing this video.”
