Two Arrested for Perjury in Conor McGregor Sexual Assault Case

Samantha O'Reilly and Steven Cummins were arrested and charged with perjury at Dublin District Court. The duo had provided sworn statements during Conor McGregor's 2024 civil trial, claiming to have witnessed an altercation involving accuser Nikita Hand and her former partner. McGregor's legal team initially introduced this testimony to counter Hand's claims regarding injuries, but withdrew the evidence before cross-examination.

Authorities later confirmed the couple provided false information. A landlord testified that the pair did not move into their residence until a week after the 2018 incident took place. The Irish Independent further reported that O'Reilly was a documented fan of the fighter. O'Reilly and Cummins are currently on bail until November 9, as McGregor continues to face additional litigation following his civil trial conviction.
