New video of Conor McGregor, accuser emerges taking place after alleged assault
A new video of UFC superstar Conor McGregor and his accuser of sexual assault emerged with the video taking place after the alleged attack.
TMZ Sports first reported the new video which shows McGregor and the woman exchanging words and was shot around 12:40 a.m. ET inside the Kaseya Center in Miami, according to the report. With that timestamp, this new video takes place about a half hour after the woman claimed McGregor attacked her in the bathroom.
The brief video can be seen below, which shows the two talking but McGregor leaving the woman shortly thereafter.
The woman’s attorney, Ariel Mitchell, released a statement to TMZ Sports after the new video involving McGregor was released.
“My client has always stated that there would be video of before and after, and in those videos she emphasized that the difference in the interactions between them would be visibly noticeable,” Mitchell said in a statement to TMZ Sports. “This again is another video that supports what my client has been saying and supports what she told the police since the inception of this incident.”
McGregor’s attorney maintained her client’s innocence after the video.
“While the claimant’s story has changed yet again,” Barbara R. Llanes said in a statement, “Our account of the evening has never changed. This video only reinforces our position. We look forward to the swift conclusion of the investigation.”
TMZ initially acquired some demand letters from Mitchell, who wrote that McGregor “violently” sexually assaulted a woman inside a men’s restroom just after the conclusion of the game.
Per TMZ, security members of the NBA and Miami Heat sequestered the woman into the bathroom before McGregor committed the alleged assault.
“In the letters, Mitchell claims that NBA and Heat security helped separate the woman from her friend … and then forced her into a restroom that McGregor and his security guard were already inside of.”
The letters also say: “Security refused to let [the woman] exit or allow anyone else, including her friend, inside the bathroom.” After she was inside, per the letters, McGregor came out from a handicapped stall and “shoved his tongue in the victim’s mouth and aggressively kissed her.”
Per the letters, TMZ says the woman tried to get away 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.
McGregor attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals to participate in a skit on the court with the Heat’s mascot.
