At the same time, another man accused by the same victim of the same crime was found innocent.
McGregor was ordered to pay the victim £200,000 by the Irish court.
This is a strange one. First thought is, I'm not sure how the victim can be telling the truth about one but not the other. If she's truthful, surely both men should be found liable. If she isn't, then neither should.
Maybe the circumstances were complicated or maybe her communication was clearer with one man than with the other.
I dislike McGregor, so it's hard for me to sympathise. But it sounds like the court thought she went to a hotel for a threesome, but changed her mind along the way, particularly about McGregor. So this wasn't jump out of the bushes rape. It was the sexual situation gone wrong problem we so often see. And his idea of sex was very different than hers. Wish we had better legal language to distinguish the two as there are significant contextual differences. But maybe the court got things about right, in spite of the seeming inconsistencies.
