Conor McGregor Megathread *Mod Warning in OP Updated 20th April*

You forget the time Chef Tim Allen walked free from court after he was found guilty of possession of child pornography. CP that he had paid for, as his conviction was based on credit card receipts to CP sites. He paid a €40,000 fine, and got community service.

Same week he walked free, a guy got jailed for a week for allegedly throwing a cigarette butt out of a window. The garda who charged him could not even identify what type of cigarette he'd been smoking (whether it was pre-rolled one, or a regular cigarette).

Money talks, and walks.

I disagree. Criminal trials allow reasonable doubt. There wasn't enough evidence to convict allowing for reasonable doubt. OJ was found not guilty in criminal court but guilty in civil court.

At the end of the day this girl has been vindicated. The world knows now what he is like.

D Devlin wouldn't sit beside him while he described "consensual sex" yet supported him the day of the verdict. There is a lady with massive low esteem if ever you saw one

Well: let’s see shall we?

Feckin hell. This is a disgusting post. Because the friend was found not guilty does not mean he was innocent just the the evidence wasn’t as clear

He's a scumbag rapist, but let's face it, even in 2018 he was known for being a scumbag.

I'm not excusing his behaviour but this woman knew what he was like, she should have stayed well clear of the bastard.

A cash award of this amount surely doesn't cover the years of anguish the victim in this case described.

It's just a pity he can't be locked up for what he did.

Let me put it this way, would you have gone to a hotel room with Conor Mcgregor expecting him to be a perfect gentleman? The answer is self evident.

I hope the settlement helps her and I believe the decision of the jury was correct but prevention is better than cure.

If you can argue against anything I've said here I'll accept your glib ad homenim response, but I'm going to go ahead and jump to the conclusion that you can't.

Different courts. The former criminal and the latter civil. No custodial sentences in the latter. McScummer might not have even been brought to court if it was not for the victims courage.

This is the thing, can you actually be found guilty of anything in a civil court? I mean, can somebody legally be conferred as a rapist, murder, burglar?

Apologies for my lack of knowledge.

Also news websites don't confirm anything.

For a brief time I liked McGregor, I thought fair play to him he has done well getting to where he was in his sport.

Now id just love to see him locked up

He definitely ticked off one of the trump cabinet requirements

Rapist c*nt better?

Mod: uncivil, warned

I have had sex multiple times, not to be braggadocios and never come away bruised like she was, as said by a nurse, black and blue on of the worst cases she had seen

No one continues sex on purpose oncewuth a tampon on and certainly once it's inserted into their cervix

Now I doubt want to brag again, but some women find the larger gentlemen uncomfortable during sex for the very reason of cervix discomfort, and that would be 100 times less than what happened here

The DPP have a history of sending cases to court which are unlikely to see a conviction. Look at the case of Sil Fox as an example where some nut job accused him of sexual assault in a pub. The DPP directed the case go to trial despite clear CCTV evidence proving his innocence. Destroyed the mans life. If they decide there isn't enough evidence for a conviction, I tend to agree with them.

MacGreggor is a scumbag in my opinion and I think his reputation, rather than the actual evidence is what lost him the case. The fact his friend also had sex with Nikita (who has no memory of it…allegedly) and wasn't found guilty too says it all.

As for Nikita. She was caught in so many lies I don't think anyone could keep up with them. I feel more sorry for her ex partner than anyone else in the story. Nikita belongs in the same camp as MacGreggor. Someone you would never want to have anything to do with. Liars, cheats and dirty whores the lot of em.

Mod: warned for victim blaming, uncivil

If she was walking down a corridor of the hotel and got dragged into the room against her will there'd be no mitigation here.

She chose to enter a hotel room with a known scumbag and chose to engage with him.

He's 100% wrong here, but had she not been in the room it never would have happened.

I'm not blaming her for what he did, I'm pointing out the error, and it's a glaringly obvious error, of choosing to be in a hotel room with Conor Mcgregor and chums plus a load of cocaine. What could possibly go wrong?
