The woman was admitted at a nearby hospital for sexual assault treatment. For this reason, officials believe the credibility of this allegation.

A source claimed that McGregor had booked a penthouse of a hotel on the night of the incident. Evidence was recovered from his apartment. The officials also secure footage of closed-circuit camera. Recently, the superstar has announced his retirement from an ultimate fighting championship. Karen Kessler, a spokesperson of McGregor, said that his retirement was unconnected to this accusation.
