Ariel Mitchell drafted demand letters on behalf of a woman who has accused UFC star Conor McGregor of raping her at Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat.
According to the demand letters, TMZ reported, McGregor allegedly raped the woman just after the Nuggets had won, 108-95, on June 9 at the Kaseya Center in Florida. The UFC fighter had also punched the Heat mascot – Burnie – while promoting his Tidl Sport recovery spray at halftime.
McGregor is alleged to have ‘violently’ sexually assaulted the woman inside the men’s bathroom. The former UFC fighter, the Miami Heat and NBA have received copies of Mitchell’s demand letters. The Irish professional mixed martial artist has denied all allegations.
The UFC, in a statement about the allegations to Simon Samano of MMA Junkie, said: “The organization is aware of the recent allegations regarding Conor McGregor and will continue to gather additional details regarding the incident. UFC will allow the legal process to play out before making any additional statements.”
McGregor’s representatives stated the claims are false and added, “Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated.” He is expecting a fourth child with his fiancee, Dee Devlin.
Ariel Mitchell, in the letters, wrote that the NBA and Heat security helped to separate the woman and her friend, leading to the woman being forced into a restroom that McGregor and his security team were inside. The attorney added that security “refused to let [the woman] exit or allow anyone else, including her friend, inside the bathroom.”
She added that McGregor emerged from a stall “and shoved his tongue in the victim’s mouth and aggressively kissed her.”
“According to the letters, the woman was able to get McGregor off of her by telling him she had to urinate … but then McGregor allegedly forced her to have oral sex with him,” TMZ wrote.
NBA and the Miami Heat are investigating the incident.
