Man and woman accused of perjury over Conor McGregor’s failed appeal
Samantha O’Reilly and Steven Cummins appeared before Dublin District Court on Tuesday morning.
A man and woman who swore affidavits on behalf of Conor McGregor ahead of his civil appeal over the finding that he sexually assaulted Nikita Hand have been charged with perjury.
Samantha O’Reilly and Steven Cummins appeared before Dublin District Court on Tuesday morning.
It follows an investigation by Irish police into evidence filed in McGregor’s failed appeal against the jury’s finding that he raped Ms Hand.
The pair have been charged with giving statements in judicial proceedings which were false, and they knew to be false.
Ms O’Reilly faces two counts of giving false statements in January and May of last year.
The 38-year-old was arrested alongside Mr Cummins, 39, at their home in Cherry Orchard Green, Ballyfermot, on Tuesday morning.
Both were remanded on continuing bail until November 9.
