Conor McGregor was arrested in January as part of a sexual assault investigation stemming from an alleged incident in Dec. at a hotel in Dublin, Ireland ... this according to the NY Times.
McGregor was released from custody and has NOT been charged with a crime, according to the report. However, the Times says officials are still investigating the case.
Local media in Ireland have been covering the situation for months but without naming McGregor as the suspect because of laws that prevent news outlets from naming rape suspects unless they have been convicted.
