McGregor faces sexual assault charges
Recall last June a woman claimed McGregor sexually abused her during game four of the NBA Finals in Miami.
In legal letters obtained by ESPN, she accused the Heat and NBA security team of separating her from her friend and forcing her into a men’s bathroom where McGregor I was waiting.
She described being “forcefully kissed” and McGregor then allegedly attempted to force her into multiple sexual acts.
She quickly contacted authorities and the Miami Police Department launched an investigation with its Special Victims Unit. McGregor disputed his accuser’s words about his attorney, Barbara Llanes. He was neither arrested nor charged.
