    Hope she cleans him out

    No amount she might take from him will clean him out. His brand ensures he can always make more.

    Isn't it two women suing ? And it's McGregor and another male being sued.

    Both women have same surname (Indo reporting mother-daughter) interesting that the name of two parties suing are listed in Irish, I wonder if this was to try hide identity somewhat.

    A professional fighter fined a grand for punching an auld fella in a pub but Starbucks fined 12grand for a slanty-eyed drawing?
    I know who was most hurt of those two victims...

    Something wrong there.

    There is a big difference between a court imposed fine (criminal penalty) and a civil case for damages

    Eh? That cctv footage looked faker than a tik tok "prank"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,919 ✭✭✭simongurnick


    Its satisfying to know that this mupp*** might actually be held accountable for the horrific crime he committed. From the dpp to the hotel which the incident happened in, they should all be held accountable for trying to cover this up.
    I’m led to believe the Gardai have substantial evidence from that night, so hopefully justice prevails.

    "you are led to believe"?

    Must be more convincing than the actual Garda investigation and DPP review.

    I'm led to believe they don't. The Gardai and DPP would have enjoyed pinning him on this and the fact they didn't speaks volumes.

    He gets accused of all sorts all the time, just look at the Liverpool thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,817 ✭✭✭Darc19


    This is a civil matter though. Gards don't usually get involved in that. Article also states DPP didn't pursue charges due to lack of evidence.

    Civil action has a much lower evidence threshold than a criminal action.

    Ah cmon, he admitted to sleeping with you’re woman and obviously paid her off, the child is the absolute spit of him!
    In regards to the hotel incident, the gardai gave the dpp a ridiculously strong file against him. The dpp dismissed dna evidence, only they can explain their ridiculous decision to dismiss the case.
    His victim will now have the opportunity to stand up in court backed up by evidence which includes cctv.
    It’s not looking good.

    Get a hold of yourself, everybody knows who fathered that kid in Liverpool. My neighbour looks like Conor but fairly certain he didn't father him either.

    You're going on here like you know inside stuff but clearly haven't a breeze

    It was 1k in court because he’d already come to a private settlement afaik.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Scobe is parading a million dollar diamond watch, evidently he has more than enough cash to spray around.

    The state of the watch.

    I would be interested to see how this plays out.

    Ive my opinion of Conor based on his punching aul lads, coke fueled binges, his cheating on his misses with trollopes and what not.

    Hes not a man of good character.

    I hope he gets what he deserves.

    And the state of his watch. How old is he? Its the millionaire equivalent of a nudie pen bought from a huckster shop on holibops. Is he a horny 12 year old?

    Money cant buy character and neither can publicised charitable donations.

    McGregor probably would not want any details of an alleged vicious assault to make it to a public forum in a court surely.

    mysteriously that unemployed woman from Liverpool was suddenly heading off on trips to New York and LA exactly just after that supposed DNA test resolution.

    pure coincidence of course.

    She was examined in a sexual assault treatment unit at a hospital after her mother called her an ambulance when she arrived home, the lawsuit said. According to the statement, bruising was found on most of her body, and she had abrasions on her face, neck and right breast.

    Sounds even more like a set up with that info. Damages include the cost of selling a house and moving, so as not to remember the incident.

    Moving in next to Bono, I'd guess

    Assuming we've read the same article, on what basis does it seem like a stitch up?

    You think something is a set-up based on what the compensation that your solicitor recommends you ask for?


    Hypothetically speaking now of course. If it were true that a woman had been assaulted by a multi multi millionaire in the fashion described or alluded to, what price would you put on the compensation?

    Not Garda evidence. Which the person I was responding to made a point of stating, also suggesting it was quite strong.

    Of course. This is compo culture Ireland where people get 12 grand because of a smiley face on a cup and politicians seek damages for falling off swings.

    Anyone care to explain why the mother is also seeking damages? Did he assault her too??

    So what is your answer to the question?


    What would be an appropriate price that you would expect to see put on such a hypothetical scenario for you not to automatically rule it out as a set-up?

    I agree with you on compo culture but I’ll make an exception for an alleged rape victim getting a pay off.


  • Registered Users Posts: 39 Johnny BGood


    New York Times article on the lawsuit is brilliant.
    The attached paragraph gives the “nay-sayers” no other choice but to accept reality.
    Innocent until proven guilty is correct, but he has some serious questions to answer.

    The same article alleges that the friend of the alleged perpetrator claimed he was the one who had had sex with the complainant.

    Depends on the case. In this case claiming for a new house looks a total money grab.

    It is quite a simple question.

    If what is alleged to have happened, as reported, did in fact happen, what do you think would be an appropriate amount?

    Bear in mind that if it did happen, then it could quite plausibly ruin her life. What would the amount be that makes you think "she's only setting him up"

    10k? 100k? 1m?


    It also does not say anything about claiming for a new house. It mentions the cost of moving to a new house. Not the same thing

    My issue isnt the sum involved, it's the reasoning for the claim, as in moving house. Smells like BS to me. If they just said a mil for pain and suffering it wouldn't seem so dodgy, but the cost of moving? Hmm

    Also, what is the mother claiming for?

    It appears that the complainant is from the same area, and moved in somewhat similar circles to the alleged perpetrator.
    One might imagine that, given the alleged perpetrators popularity and connections among certain sections of society, that she might feel a little uncomfortable in remaining in that area.
    I would have thought that that was perfectly reasonable? No?




    NYT article doesn't mention the mother.

    That's a fair point but why can't she move to a home of equal value to her current residence?

    The info article mentions two lawsuits. Second one is the mother. I imagine she is claiming some sort of distress but where does that end? I'm sure all family and friends of a rape victim are extremely distressed. Do they all get compensated too?

    It never says where she is moving to. It just says that the calculated figure includes costs for the move. It does not say how much is attributed to each bit.


    I don't know anything about the second case. When or if info comes out on it I might make a comment on it. We have no idea whether it directly relates to the same incident or whether it is for something else. No point speculating on it.

    Depends on the case. In this case claiming for a new house looks a total money grab.

    Realisticly its an expensive money grab if it doesnt pay off. You cant just sue someone, especially a multi millionaire, on a whim. The legal costs alone would make a frivolous claim a stupid move against someone with some financial muscle.

    She must be confident in her case. Her confidence is probably based off Conors wreckless behaviour.

    I’d bet both my bollocks that the DPP didn’t proceed because they knew they wouldn’t get a conviction.

    Think about it, that trial would be a circus. McGregor would be entitled to anonymity but I’d bet that all the American networks would fly over and cover it, and not even bother to check the laws we have here and name him anyway.

    There isn’t a chance we’d get a day out of the case before it’s thrown out.

    Evidence of something happening is not evidence of who did it.

    The fact they weren't paid off to go away speaks volumes in my opinion.

    Doesn't have to be just has to wait for the right offer to be made from the legal representatives of his ,

    If she wants justice she would be all over the media and social media with her claims but instead she wants compensation .

    At the time the apparent rumors was this victim was destroyed and left in awful state yet no evidence to charge it's got nothing to do with a buy off either

    So she should accuse him of rape in the media, and then he'd sue her into oblivion?

    Am I misreading your claim or are you saying that if a hypothetical rape victim wanted justice, then they should forgo their anonymity on Facebook if they are genuine?


    That they should publicly accuse a hypothetical suspect of rape on social media and not be worried about defamation or other repercussions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Am I misreading your claim or are you saying that if a hypothetical rape victim wanted justice,

    A hypothetical victim who's claim were completely rejected by the gardai and DPP and now we have person injury claim before a big fight for him ,
    Which will likely be settled out of court and the hypothetical victim signs a non disclosure agreement and she suddenly goes away quietly ,
    Why not go public with the claim she would find huge support by doing so why would he sue her if she's got evidence to back up her claim,

    Personal injury claims are settled by insurance companies not individuals being sued.

    Seems like a odd situation to me ,
