How is it interesting?
best to not feed the troll
I did open the link and they interpreted and presented the information in a way which suits their narrative. You or anyone posting here doesnt have the first clue why rapes or sexual crimes dont lead to a full conviction so dont try to presume. It could easily be that many accusations that are made on further investigation are shown to be false, ridiculous or made out of malice or financial motive. Which in truth wouldnt surprise me as 99% of the time there is zero consequences for making an accusation like this in Ireland.
If you dont see how it is, I cant help you. Roll on next week to further revelations im sure

Completely untrue. False accusations are prosecuted, if and when they happen.
That tells me all I need to know about how little you know.
Reckon I know a lot more then you 😉
Yah, sure……
I've been in court for many of them.
I agree that many are not even reported which is awful. Support system for victims in this country is poor. Even the way they advertise the services is terrible, no idea about psychology and how to make it sound appealing to a victim.
We are off topic so I'll leave it at that.
I am not for a second suggesting that McGregor is innocent, or that he's not become an absolute bellend in recent years, or that he's not potentially guilty of all sorts of other things.
But the quote that he allegedly said "This is how I felt being made to tap out 3 times in the octagon" strikes me as really odd.
The fact you believe it without hearing all the evidence, is precisely what was referred to as “believe her no matter what”
False accusations are rarely prosecuted. Most are withdrawn, only a fraction a proven false in court.
what’s your actual take, “so far” from what you have read?
Medical evidence seems compelling and so far there has been nothing from the defence to rebut or explain this.
However complainant is a poor witness from a legal perspective. She can’t remember most things that happened on the day, can’t remember being affectionate with McGregor beforehand and with the other lad afterwards, even when being shown it on cctv.
There was no chance the DPP would win this case on a ‘reasonable doubt’ basis, but at this stage I would lean towards her winning on the ‘balance of probability’ basis due to the medical evidence. A big caveat though is the defence still has to present its case, so there’ll be more to see and hear before reaching a conclusion.
Not odd for McGregor
She herself added that it was a weird thing to say
I haven't heard or read nearly enough to form an solid opinion on it tbh. (most probably haven't either tbh). As I said, it's not a topic I enjoy reading about, so I'm not going through all the details. But it's not totally avoidable obviously, and some of the details I have heard are, to me, odd. She reach out to him on the night, went back to the hotel romantically, lied to her partner, spending the night after the alleged rape, sleeping with the friend. A clear timeline would be key. Especially around any CCTV footage.
well, when drink, drugs, partying are involved, some details/versions will be confusing/odd/strange. These areas latched onto by the defence, of course.
But other details on this case appear clear, damning and truthful.. the injuries, interviews, her state of mind during interviews, examinations etc…
6 years in and still she is fighting for justice.. that can’t be easy. Very tough.
have you seen any interview / video of him lately? The one where he was playing blackjack online is a car crash, he is so high he doesn't know what he is saying.
There is also cctv of her hugging and kissing mcgregor in the lift after the alleged rape

"I like watching him fight therefore he is innocent" confirmed.
Hell of an idiotic leap there. Still didn't answer my question.
You have anything to back that up? Yes it's hard to prosecute, but where is the.proof for the rest?
And some people may know the.evidence before it's given in court
It's a stupid question. That's why no one answered it.
Why is it stupid?
I don’t disagree with any of that. Nor was I implying that intentions at 2am, implies consent hours later.
I was speaking about how the defence will play it out and ask why she was texting him, back in a hotel, lying to her partner etc. It doesn’t look good in court. Nor does the cctv footage mentioned above
evidence to back up that false accusations are rarely prosecuted?
Yes. The number of people prosecuted for false accusations. It’s kinda straightforward.
Lots of people will know some of the story. Very few people all of the evidence.
I know you implied nothing. All you say in this post I agree with, your take, and how it looks, or could look in a court
I think it's really important that people understand something here. The fact that the DPP didn't pursue a criminal case doesn't mean that they don't believe Nikita or that this didn't happen. It simply means that they weren't confident that the evidence they had would convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt that it did. The DPP and her team are far from stupid and they are singular experts in how juries think. They know full well that any potential jury would have a number of people on it displaying the exact same "logic" that's being used here - that because Nikita didn't behave "correctly" in the immediate aftermath, that she's clearly lying about the whole thing.
The attitudes on show here are the exact reason so many women don't even bother reporting sexual assaults in the first place. All I can say is that I hope it never happens to someone you know and love. Although it may well already have.
Would you prefer a special criminal court for accusations of sexual assault or rape? You are great at emoting from your soapbox (looking at your posts it also looks like you have serious issues with men but we won't go there). I
Perhaps very few are prosecuted because very few false accusations actually happen that's straightforward too.
Anyway, I'm saying I believe her based on the knowledge I have, not on nothing.That's not to say I think he will be found guilty,, I have no idea how it will go.
What is the knowledge that you have?
