In 2018, Nikita Hand accused Conor McGregor of raping her in a Dublin hotel. Prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges—but six years later, Hand took McGregor to civil court.

The medical evidence documented extensive injuries. McGregor's DNA placed him at the scene. But prosecutors ultimately declined to bring criminal charges. Nikita Hand didn't stop there.

In Part 1, we walk through what happened that day according to the evidence and testimony, the aftermath of the alleged assault, the decision not to prosecute, and the years-long road to a civil courtroom—including the terrifying attack at Hand's home just months before the trial began.

To be clear: This episode is based on the evidence presented in court and the public record. If you're looking for a defense of Conor McGregor, this probably isn't the episode for you.

Content warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of sexual assault, physical injuries, and trauma.

Part 2 covers the trial, the verdict, and McGregor's comeback, dropping Thursday. Patrons can listen now.
