A jury had found Conor McGregor guilty of assault

Nikita had such terrible bruising, a paramedic hasn't seen such extensive bruising, she had to have a tampon removed from her cervix, she's had her house/car attacked, mum threatened, intruders broke into her home and tried to stab her bf/ threatening her and her bf he tried to pay her off in 2019 for a million, she said no I want justice.

It’s not being put aside but we can’t ignore the risk he’s posing and, wether she’s abused or not, she’s enabling that risk by staying with her children in the marriage

I’m afraid I agree with this. His violence predates meeting her and yet they have had 4 children together. Women have left powerful men many times, it is possible and in my book if you have the slightest shit about your kids you’d risk everything to do so

You don’t have any idea about her bank balance either, so all your arguments that she could do this, or that, hold no more weight than anyone else’s. It is clear that you have no experience with the family courts though. I can tell you from personal experience that a good lawyer can make a violent man with convictions seem like a fine, upstanding member of the community whose bitter ex is just trying to alienate him from his children.

What I want for those poor little sods is for their mum to make the best decisions for them that she can, to prevent him being responsible for their upbringing.

I am only catching this reply now

Maybe I’m projecting as I remember feeling overwhelmed with how little consideration I was given being a child having to live with that, but the thought of going “it’s doomed she has to stay, fuck the 4 little lives involved” is just plain dumb

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Context is everything. I was here wondering why women are here talking about a violent man and focusing on his partner. But you are obviously coming from a different perspective.

I don't think fuck the kids at all. I hope they ok. I hope he is a house angel type. But either way his disgusting behaviour will impact them. I have no experience of living with a violent person or living with addiction.

No, it’s because he’s a violent rapist and, whatever she’s seen and done, she hasn’t raped anyone, she hasn’t attacked anyone and broken their jaw. She hasn’t done any of the things that HE has done.

It is unlikely she has £0 in her bank account and that she has no assets either.

Sorry not sorry but I’m not buying that she’s a naive helpless victim with nowhere to turn. Women in worse, poorer and more dangerous positions have fled and put their children first. In lieu of knowing the particulars, I think we just perhaps need to accept that whilst she may be a DA victim, she may also equally be someone who is happy to stay and is a turn the other cheek for the money kind of person.

Can you really not see the balance in that risk? You’re working on the basis that she walks off with the kids and he never gets to see them again. As much as you’d like to pretend that no Judge would let him have unsupervised access, that is absolutely not the case and it is pointless pretending otherwise. So does she stay in the home where she is there 24 hours a day and can shield them? Or does she leave and hand them over to him for him to bring them up how he pleases?

Can you really not see that one option is safer for the kids than the other?

I'd lay money he has connections to crime figures who would have facilitated the threats and assaults on her family to try and shut her up.

You want her name? She has anonymity.

It’s inexplicable and like I say I probably have higher expectations for women to be protectors than the next person.

But yes the focus should be on him and my first post said he should be imprisoned for life. WTF is happening in Ireland that he gets away with violent crime after violent crime.

I really think there should be some sort of “three strikes” rule for violent men (and women but let’s face it they’d be few and far between) or similar. Hes had so many accusations and convictions - either he’s the world’s unluckiest man to be falsely accused so often (unlikely) or we need to start locking up these men away forever.

Anyway I’m waffling now and perhaps that’s not a well thought out plan but I am sick to the back teeth of famous men who, in my view, have little talent and even fewer brains, getting away with violence all the time.. The sad thing is he will continue to fight and people will pay to watch him and will cheer him on. Look at the rapist Mike Tyson. I’m fucking sick of men being Teflon coated and I’m afraid it’s hard not to be angry at every loved one, family member and friend who stands by supporting them and never ever checking or calling out their behaviour.
I have a son and I will always love him but my support is absolutely conditional. If he ever did what CM did I would absolutely disown him. Same for any family member, friend, brother etc. Not stand around moaning that he’s the real victim, which no doubt CM’s circle are doing.

Sorry. Rant over

I think it was the man in the pub who wouldn’t drink his whiskey

No I will never see that letting a violent and sexually violent man raise 4 children is a safer option than trying to get them away. Say “Oh well it probably won’t go in my favour” is not a good enough reason to stay.

Anyway we are both making a lot of assumptions about them which neither of us know. But from the outset she seems to me to be a “stand by your man” type who at the very least accepts persistent cheating with a man who’s not sorry about it. He also clearly has many jollies away from her given his propensity to sexually assault people abroad when his OH isn’t around. Im sure he will continue to do so.

Can't find a broken jaw incident but here's an overview of similar stuff...

I’ll make this my last reply because I’m going to bed and it’s rapidly becoming apparent to me that trying to get this through to you is utterly pointless.

I agree that she might be happy to stay with him. It’s unlikely either of us will ever be privy to her thoughts. But for the last fucking time, women in worse, poorer and more dangerous positions have not been appearing on the nightly news. Their faces haven’t been splashed all over the internet. They’re of no interest to the tabloids. WHERE IS SHE SUPPOSED TO GO THAT SHE WON’T BE RECOGNISED??

I think that poster maybe got confused with the woman who broke her arm escaping from him when he sexually assaulted her

What a guy 🙄

Oh come on she’s not THAT famous. I’ve only just seen her face myself on the pictures of her clinging to him outside the court.

But to give you an answer -China (you did ask). Or Portugal. Or anywhere where he is less well known.

She wouldn’t be the first well known woman to have fled DA

Im not sure people recognising her is an excuse to stay with a violent rapist, and I don’t think k I’ll ever get through to you that “She will have to just stay” is a load of complete bollocks.

They tried to accuse her of going for a civil case because she was a gold digger, when the only reason was that she was not allowed to pursue justice through a criminal case. It is awful to think what she has had to go through.

In the pleadings in the case, the defence said that Hand’s claim was false, malicious and being made in bad faith, deeming it an attempt at extortion.

That really puts it up to my client. She’s a gold digger. She’s a fraud,” Hand’s defence counsel said.

This claim fell somewhat flat when the court learned that Hand had attempted to pursue a criminal case against McGregor, and that it was only after the DPP informed her in the summer of 2020 that they had decided not to prosecute – something she told the court she felt “devastated” and “let down” by – that she went to her solicitor to make a civil claim in October of that year.

@EvilsElsasPetSnowman

I think your feelings are totally understandable. His accusations have not just been in Ireland though - he has settled cases all over the world. He is a powerful man.

I can only hope that Nikita Hand's bravery will compel other women who may have been impacted by his violence to come forward and ensure he gets the justice he deserves.

Well done to Nikita who was intimidated in her own home by masked men earlier this year for, I believe, going through with this case. Her compensation is paltry but she has exposed him for what he is.

She’s an absolute hero, in every conceivable way, and I wish her all the best.
