Conor McGregor responds to arrest on allegations of alleged sexual assault and indecent exposure

Conor McGregor has denied allegations of attempted sexual assault and indecent exposure in Corsica.

The former two-peso UFC world champion was arrested after an alleged incident at a bar and was questioned by police.

But his representative said: “Conor McGregor strongly denies any allegation of misconduct. He has been interviewed and released.”

McGregor has spent several weeks in the area while preparing for a 180km trip to raise awareness about water safety.

He was scheduled to start the event today with Princess Charlene of Monaco, but was forced to withdraw.

A statement from the prosecutor said: “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 [sic] was the subject of a hearing by the police. “

McGregor, who proposed to his girlfriend Dee Devlin last month, appeared to be enjoying his retirement from the UFC.

He claimed to be hanging up his gloves for the third time in four years earlier this summer after being frustrated by the lack of available opponents.

But he remained in the USADA drug testing group and welcomed officials onto his £ 3 million yacht this week for a random test.

McGregor last fought in January when he stopped Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds.

Crumlin’s man had planned an assault on the lightweight title, but his offer was derailed by the coronavirus crisis.

Instead, champion Khabib Nurmagomedov will face Justin Gaethje in October in Abu Dhabi.
