Former UFC champion Conor McGregor is being accused of sexual battery in a new federal lawsuit filed in Miami on January 14, 2025, according to court documents obtained by Heavy.
The accuser, identified as Jane Doe in court filings, says McGregor tried to sexually assault her in a bathroom at the Kesaya Center after a NBA Finals game in June 2023. The lawsuit also names the Miami Heat, Basketball Properties Inc. and the Compass Group as defendants. It was filed in the Southern District of Florida federal court.
Police investigated McGregor after the incident and no charges were filed.
McGregorâs attorney, Barbara Llanes, told ESPN, âAfter a thorough investigation at the time, the Stateâs Attorney concluded that there was no case to pursue. Almost two years and at least three lawyers later the plaintiff has a new false story. We are confident that this case too will be dismissed.â
According to the lawsuit, the accuser is a 49-year-old woman who is employed as a senior vice president at a high-profile financial institution. Her atorneys wrote in the filing that although her identity is known to McGregor, she wishes to remain anonymous in court âto avoid embarrassment and shame from the conduct discussed in this complaint as well as to protect her privacy in her career.â
Jane Doeâs attorney, Jim Dunn, told ESPN, âMy client has thought long and hard about the decision to pursue this civil case, and is fearful of the effect it may have on her job on Wall Street. Nonetheless, her main goal in filing this suit is to raise awareness and encourage others to report sexual assault.â
The Accuser Says Conor McGregor Slammed Her Against a Wall After Kesaya Center Staff Led Her to a Bathroom With the UFC FighterAccording to the lawsuit, the accuser, identified only as Jane Doe, was at the Kesaya Center as a patron for Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 9, 2023. McGregor was at the game promoting his TIDL pain relief spray. He went on the court during the third quarter of the game for a skit with the Heatâs mascot, Burnie. During that incident McGregor punched the mascot, in an incident that went viral.
The lawsuit states that after the on-court skit, Kesaya Center staff and security escort McGregor to the Courtside Club. After the game, McGregor was talking to Jane Doe and was drinking a bottle of Proper 12 whiskey. According to the lawsuit, when Jane Doe and her friend began leaving the arena, a friend or member of McGregorâs private security team told her, âConor told me to come get you,â and grab her wrist and led them to the exit of the Courtside Club.
âBefore leaving the Courtside Club,â the accuserâs lawyers wrote, McGregorâs friend or security, âstopped at the entrance to the menâs bathroom. Jane Doe requested of the friend to let go of her wrist and he said, âNo, Conor will kill me if I lose you.â McGregor then exited the bathroom, âand grabbed Jane Doeâs hand or wrist and led her into the menâs restroom with her acquaintance to follow.â
The lawsuit states that McGregor led Jane Doe to a stall and the staff of the Kesaya Center wouldnât let her acquaintance enter the stall. âThe loud DJ music in the Courtside Club and in the bathroom area made communicating difficult,â the lawsuit states.
According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe was using the bathroom when McGregor, who appeared to her to be âunder the influences of intoxicants and out of control ⊠attempted to forcefully place his unprotected penis into Jane Doeâs mouth without her consent.â The lawsuit adds, âJane Doe pulled her pants up and stood up and attempted to exit the stall. (McGregor) slammed Jane Doe against the wall face first and put Jane Doe in an arm lock and attempted to forcefully place his unprotected penis into Jane Doeâs anus without her consent.â
The lawsuit states, âJane Doe returned to the Courtside Club as she was waiting on her acquaintance to leave the venue.â
A Jury in Ireland Found McGregor Liable for Sexual Assault in a Civil Trial in November 2024In November 2024, McGregor was found civilly liable of sexual assault by a jury in Ireland after a woman accused him of sexually assaulting her in 2018 at a Christmas party in Dublin. McGregor posted on social media that he plans to appeal that verdict.
McGregor, 36, has not fought in the UFC since July 2021 when he broke his leg and lost by technical knockout to Dustin Poirier. UFC President Dana White was asked about McGregor and the sexual assault lawsuit in December at the UFC 310 post-fight press conference and told reporters, âWhat do you mean whatâs my reaction? If I had a comment I wouldâve put it out already.â
White added, âHe hasnât been fighting here in I donât know how long If he does fight, itâll be sometime next year.â
On January 15, White appeared on the Barstool Sports podcast âPardon My Take,â and said McGregor would âeventuallyâ fight again in the UFC. White shot down rumors that McGregor would box Logan Paul or KSI, saying, âHopefully Conor returns in the fall of this year.â
White and the UFC have not commented on the latest lawsuit.
