Mixed martial arts fighter was directed to provide affidavit after being ordered not to disseminate CCTV
Conor McGregor was directed by Mr Justice Alexander Owens to provide an affidavit, a sworn statement, after lawyers for Nikita Hand raised concerns about social media posts suggesting the footage would be released.
The judge considered there was “a real danger” Mr McGregor would disseminate it to an Italian business partner, Gabriel Ernesto Rapisarda, who reportedly posted on social media that it would be released this month and would change the public’s view of Mr McGregor and boost sales of his stout. The jury found James Lawrence , of Rafter’s Road, Drimnagh, a friend of Mr McGregor’s, had not assaulted her in the hotel after Mr McGregor left.
Mr McGregor was not entitled to disseminate “bits and pieces” of discovered material and does not get “another run” at the case by throwing out allegations on social media that Ms Hand lied in the case, or by using surrogates, he said. It is understood Mr McGregor last week provided a brief affidavit stating he had deleted the footage and that he will provide a more detailed affidavit prior to the matter returning before the judge on February 12th.
