Conor McGregor, through his manager and a spokesperson, denied any allegation of sexual assault during a trip to Italy. The wire service Agence France-Press reported Saturday that McGregor had been taken into custody in Corsica, France, and questioned about a potential sexual assault.
“Following a complaint filed on September 10 denouncing acts that could be described as attempted sexual assault and sexual exhibition, Mr. Conor Anthony Mac Gregor was the subject of a hearing by the gendarmerie services,” AFP reported.
McGregor was traveling on his yacht with his fiancée, Dee Devlin. TMZ reported that an outlet in France said the alleged incident occurred in a bar.
