Report: Irish Police Investigating UFC Star Conor McGregor for Alleged Sexual Assault

Conor McGregor is under investigation in Ireland for an alleged sexual assault of a woman in December, according to a report from The New York Times.

The former UFC champion was arrested in January, questioned by authorities and then released. McGregor has not been formally charged with a crime. Irish news outlets reported on the arrest of a national sports star for allegedly raping a woman at a Dublin hotel in January but did not specifically name McGregor due to laws that restrict the media from identifying a suspect if they are not convicted of a crime.
