The plaintiff - anonymized as Jane Doe - who accused Conor McGregor of sexual battery at an NBA game in Miami, Florida, in 2023 has voluntarily dismissed her civil lawsuit, court records show.
The notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice was filed in the US District Court's Southern District of Florida on Tuesday, December 2.
The dismissal was filed nearly two months after a joint motion to extend the deadline for McGregor's response to the complaint to December 2 was granted. The joint motion noted that "the parties are currently in discussions regarding Plaintiff’s allegations in the Complaint."
The case, first filed in January 2025, is now closed.
As of Friday afternoon, lawyers for both McGregor and the plaintiff have not returned IrishCentral's requests for comment on the dismissal.
Conor McGregor accused in Miami civil suit
Dublin native McGregor was named as a defendant in the sexual battery civil case that was lodged in Miami, Florida, on January 14 this year.
The civil case was lodged after prosecutors declined to pursue a criminal case for the alleged June 2023 incident.
It was also lodged less than two months after a Dublin jury sided with accuser Nikita Hand in her civil case against McGregor. McGregor has since lost his appeal of the decision in Dublin's High Court, while the Supreme Court this week rejected his appeal.
According to the Miami civil suit, McGregor was in the Kesaya Center's Courtside Club during the NBA game as he was doing a promotion for TIDL pain relief spray, while Doe, a "business invitee," was a patron of the Courtside Club.
Doe's identity is known to McGregor, the lawsuit said, but Doe wished to maintain her anonymity in the suit "to avoid embarrassment and shame from the conduct discussed" and to "protect her privacy in her career."
The lawsuit alleged that McGregor "intentionally engaged in unlawful sexual contact including attempting to forcefully place his unprotected penis into the mouth and anus of Jane Doe without her consent or permission."
Two weeks after the civil lawsuit was filed, the plaintiff filed notice of voluntary dismissal of defendants Basketball Properties Inc., Miami Heat Limited Partnership, and Compass Group USA without prejudice. The plaintiff intended to pursue claims against these parties in State Court, the January 28 filing said.
