The alleged victim is claiming civil damages against Irish mixed martial artist Mr McGregor and another man, claiming she was sexually assaulted in December 2018 after being picked up from a Christmas party.
On her second day of giving evidence to the High Court in Dublin she broke down several times as she described an alleged attack in the early hours by Mr McGregor after going to a gathering on 9 December 2018 at the Beacon Hotel in Dublin. The hairdresser claimed Mr McGregor, who denies the allegations, pinned her to the bed in the hotel and pressed his whole body weight on her leaving her unable to breathe.
She said she had held up both hands and was trying to get away from him, but the more she struggled, the more he appeared to like it. “The only thing I could move was my head. I bit him but I can’t remember where. He didn’t like it so he flipped me around and put his arm around my neck and choked me,” she said.
She added: “I’m really struggling with this. I am sorry.” Following a break, she said: “He pinned me to the bed and I held my hands to my chest and he put his whole body weight on top of me and I couldn’t breathe. The only thing I could move was my head and I bit him and tried my best to get away from him. I tried to shove him and wiggle and do whatever I could.
