Conor McGregor is suing over an alleged sexual assault at the 2023 NBA Finals.
Woman accuses former UFC superstar Conor McGregor sexual assault after Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals, but the Florida State Attorney’s Office did not file charges at the time. However, the 49-year-old prosecutor filed a lawsuit Tuesday again confirms those allegations, via ESPN’s Michael Rothstein.
“After a thorough investigation at the time, the Attorney General concluded that there was no case to pursue,” McGregor’s attorney Barbara Lanes said in an email to ESPN. “Nearly two years and at least three lawyers later, the plaintiff has a new bogus story.” We are confident that this case will also be dismissed.”
The woman is described in the lawsuit as a Miami-Dade County resident who works for a Wall Street financial institution. The lawsuit also alleges “gross negligence” by security at the Kaseia Center. The Kaseia Center is the Heat’s home arena.

She claims McGregor assaulted her in the bathroom during the game, which took place on June 9, 2023. The Heat hosted the Denver Nuggets in Game 4 of the Finals.
“My client has thought long and hard about the decision to bring this civil action and fears the impact it could have on her business on Wall Street,” said plaintiffs’ attorney Jim Dunn. “However, her main goal in filing this lawsuit is to raise awareness and encourage others to report sexual assault.”
