Conor McGregor will not be charged following a sexual assault investigation. Officials confirmed that the case has been dropped due to a lack of evidence.
The case stemmed from allegations against the UFC star from a woman who said he “attempted sexual assault and sexual exhibition” on the French island of Corsica back in September 2020, according to TMZ Sports.
McGregor denied any wrongdoing and the evidence was not enough to move forward with the case.
A document read:
“The examination of the present proceedings does not justify any criminal prosecution since:
— The facts or the circumstances of the facts of the proceedings could not have been clearly established by the investigations.
— The pieces of evidence are therefore not sufficient for the offense to be constituted and for criminal prosecution to be engaged.“
“They [French authorities] did a criminal investigation. They collected DNA and the DNA evidence confirmed McGregor’s account,” Conor’s representative added.
McGregor is set to return to action at UFC 264 in Las Vegas with fans allowed in attendance.
