Ireland's Justice Minister Helen McEntee has praised Nikita Hand for her bravery after she won a civil case against MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who she accused of raping her in 2018. The High Court awarded her €248,603.60 in damages. McGregor plans to appeal the decision. McEntee highlighted the importance of Hand's case in showing that justice is possible, despite the DPP's earlier decision not to prosecute due to insufficient evidence. Hand hopes her case encourages other victims to seek justice.
