TL;DR

Conor McGregor was ordered to pay €250,000 in damages to Nikita Hand after a civil court found him guilty of raping her in 2018. The verdict led to a surge in calls to rape helplines and prompted several retailers to stop selling products associated with McGregor. The case has sparked public protests and calls for the Irish director of public prosecutions to explain why a criminal case was not pursued. Retailers like Tesco and Proximo Spirits have distanced themselves from McGregor's brands following the verdict.
