Watch: Nikita Hand urges others to 'speak up, you have a voice'
A woman who won her civil claim against Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor has said she hoped her case will remind victims of assault to keep “pushing forward for justice”.
Nikita Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a High Court civil case.
Speaking outside court, Ms Hand said: “I hope my story is a reminder that no matter how afraid you might be – speak up, you have a voice and keep on fighting for justice.
“I know this has impacted not only my life, my daughter’s, my family and friends tremendously.
“It’s something that I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.
“Now that justice has been served, I can now try and move on and look forward to the future with my family and friends and daughter.”
