      When is that useless rapist twat ever going to fuck off. The day that his vices catch up with him can’t come soon enough.

    4. Chairman-Mia0 on

      Unless I’m seriously mistaken the judge was fairly adamant that he is indeed a rapist as well.

      Out of the Trump book. Spend more on barristers than your opponents can. Trying it with Nikita Hand. Now with Sky.

      After the case. In which he was found on the balance of probabilities to be a rapist. He now wants to sue journalists in the same court for correctly calling him what the court called him.

      Maybe a legal expert can come in but it seems like he doesn’t have a case here; I always thought that defamation is where something is said where you’re brought down in the estimation of those who hear it, and is stated with malice and without fact.

      I hear you’re a ra_ist now, Conor.

      Two letters work equally as well.

    11. Hot_Parfait_8901 on

      But…. He is a rapist?

      “By reporter AFTER the Nikita Hand case” ..

      The case where it was confirmed that he was a rapist, so calling him a rapist AFTER the case is accurate and apt

      McGregor the Rapist is objecting to being called a rapist by a journalist, after the judge clearly declared him to be a rapist?

      If McGregor doesnt like being called a rapist, then why did he rape Nikita Hand?

    15. Hideous-Kojima on

      If you don’t like being called a rapist, maybe try not raping people.

    16. Key_Duck_6293 on

      Reckon he’s spent more on coke or legal fees over the past few years?

    18. Swagspray on

      Why was he called a rapist? Was it because of the rape he committed?

    19. jacksqualk on

      What an absolute embarrassment to any nation, let alone this one.

    20. TheCunningFool on

      I’ve absolutely no time for the man, but (unless im misremembering) i think he was found liable in the civil case for sexual assault (rather than rape). So calling him a rapist may technically be defamatory.

    23. Centrocampo on

      If he didn’t want to be called a rapist then he probably shouldn’t have raped someone.

    27. dublindave112 on

      McGregor to sue Sky News for definition of character. 😂

    29. Relative-Battle-7315 on

      Found guilty of rape, and lost his appeal in the Court of Appeals.

      He can litigate whoever he wants, it’s not defamation to call him a rapist. Even under its broad definition of a ‘perceived’ slight, it was a very public and recent case.

      Saw some folks reference the Civil Court. Not sure why it’d matter, the defamation law is about damage to character/reputation.

    31. Boxyuk on

      Just like David goodwillie in Scotland(a footballer) youve been found guilty in a court of rape.

      Surely he has no case whatsoever for this?

    32. Broghan51 on

      What are the chances of him reading this thread ?

      (or at least somebody reading it for him)

    37. Ok_Magazine_3383 on

      Exact quote from the presiding judge:

      >The facts are clear, Nikita Hand sued Conor McGregor, a jury found McGregor raped Nikita Hand. That has been conclusively determined.

      The idea that McGregor is “technically right” because he was found liable for sexual assault is a nonsense. In order for him to be liable for sexual assault, the jury _had_ to determine he committed rape.

      It’s more likely that this is another attempt by McGregor to re-litigate the case, as the most common defence in these sort of defamation suits is that the claim they made is “substantially true”. Which Sky would have to make, and McGregor would have the opportunity to dispute. 

      Which is another opportunity for him to try and smear Hand, or present new “evidence” to the public.

      The legal system is itself to blame for these types of spurious cases.

      If they wanted them to stop they could find a way to issue serious punitive fines to those who are trying to bully people in the courts.

    39. merriman99 on

      Convicted RAPIST McGregor to sue Sky News for defamation over claims he was called a rapist by reporter after Nikita Hand case.

      There you go. Fixed it.

    41. dimebag_101 on

      Man thinks he’s trump. He don’t have that kind of power

    43. Shanbo88 on

      Best way to get someone to stop calling you a rapist is to not be one. Being found liable for damages in Civil Court in a rape case isn’t a good look if you want people to not call you a rapist also.

    44. orangant0402 on

      Well if you don’t want to be called a rapist, don’t rape anybody. It’s not a tough thing to do. I do it every single day and not to blow my own horn but I’m really good at it.

    45. ruairi1983 on

      But serious question, does he have any chance since it was a civil case and not a criminal case ? Is there some kind of distinction? I’m sure he has a legal team that seems to think there’s a case.

    46. rthrtylr on

      Oh is this about that rapist presidential-failure, Conor “Actually British” McGregor?

    47. futbolitoireland on

      Truth is a defense to defamation. He will have to prove he didn’t rape Nikita hand in order to win that case. Sky news lawyers will have an absolute field day. Like the legal team will be fighting over who gets to work on that case. They will give seats on the team out as Christmas bonuses

    48. TommyTBlack on

      did the verdict use the term “assault” or “sexual assault” or “rape”?

      is there a legal distinction between the latter two?

      non-irish media outlets seem to use sexual assault when reporting on the verdict
