A Co Down man has been interviewed by the PSNI in relation to a report of voyeurism after footage of Conor McGregor engaging in a “private act” with his fiancée was circulated online.
It is understood Mr McGregor made a complaint to the PSNI in November after he became aware of the clips showing him and his partner Dee Devlin at a holiday home in Rostrevor, Co Down, last November.
The controversial sportsman spent several days at the luxury seafront property with his partner and young family as a civil trial for rape played out in a Dublin court.
McGregor was ordered pay Nikita Hand €250,000 after she claimed the former mixed martial arts champion raped her in a Dublin hotel in 2018.
He was later ordered to pay Ms Hand’s legal costs, which some estimates put at around €1million.
Some of the clips circulated widely on social media contain content too intimate to describe in a family newspaper.
However, in one McGregor can be seen pacing around the rented house shirtless as he is watched by a group of excited young people.
Police have confirmed that they interviewed a Co Down man this week in relation to the footage.
“A 20-year-old man voluntarily attended Ardmore station on Monday, January 27, for interview in relation to a report of voyeurism in the Rostrevor area in November 2024,” a spokeswoman said.
“Enquiries are ongoing.”
Solicitor Gavin Booth, of Phoenix Law, said he represents “the person who was accused of taking a video of Conor McGregor in an intimate act with his partner”.
“We can confirm that our client strenuously denies all these allegations and did so at interview,” Mr Booth said.
“We contend that there is no evidence to link our client to these offence and fully expect our client’s name to be vindicated.”
Mr Booth added that he would “advise caution to anyone speculating that our client was involved”.
It is understood McGregor told police he was made aware of posts on social media by a family member.
It is believed the names of several people were later provided to the Dublin native via social media, which he then passed on to the PSNI.
McGregor was branded “incredibly insulting” this week when he suggested people from Co Derry, and other parts of the north, are not Irish.
McGregor questioned the identity of fighter Paul Hughes in a series of tweets, and queried why he was draped in the national flag after a recent world title loss.
In one post, McGregor wrote: “Get that flag off you you little know what you are c*** from up there,”
The tweets have since been deleted.
Mr Hughes, from Lavey in south Derry, dismissed McGregor.
“But honestly it didn’t really bother me from coming from him,” he added.
“I just don’t hold that much weight to what he says anymore.”
