Lawyers for woman who had civil claim for rape upheld against MMA fighter say release of the material would be a contempt of court
Nikita Hand was last November awarded almost €250,000 damages after a High Court jury upheld her civil claim that she was raped by the Mixed Martial Arts fighter in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
Mr Justice Alexander Owens on Monday permitted Ms Hand’s lawyers to serve Mr McGregor and Mr Lawrence with abridged notice of an injunction application she intends to move this Thursday. In an affidavit to the court, Ms Hand’s solicitor David Coleman said the Sunday Independant and the Sunday World reported earlier this month that Gabriel Ernesto Rapisarda, a business associate of Mr McGregor’s, has indicated there will be “imminent” publication of the CCTV footage used during the trial of her claim.
In view of Mr McGregor’s alleged intention, Mr Coleman said he is anxious to ensure the injunction motion is moved on Thursday so the court can consider Mr McGregor’s alleged “ongoing contempt”.
