Part of situation: Perjury investigation into Conor McGregor appeal (2 clusters)

Two charged with perjury over Conor McGregor appeal

perjury charges Conor McGregor civil sexual assault case Dublin court Nikita Hand

Two individuals, Samantha O'Reilly and Steven Cummins, have been charged with perjury in a Dublin court. The charges follow an investigation into allegedly false statements made during Conor McGregor’s unsuccessful appeal of a civil sexual assault verdict.

The case stems from a 2018 incident in a Dublin hotel where a jury found McGregor liable for the sexual assault of Nikita Hand. As part of his appeal, O'Reilly, a former neighbor of Hand, provided an affidavit claiming to have witnessed a physical altercation involving Hand and her ex-boyfriend around the time of the alleged assault. Hand denied these claims, and the evidence was subsequently withdrawn from the appeal.

McGregor, who was ordered to pay £206,000 plus legal fees, continues to maintain his innocence. No hearing date has been set for the perjury charges against O'Reilly and Cummins.
