A weight off for McGregor

As per a memo obtained by TMZ, prosecutors said there was insufficient evidence alongside contradicting and/or no corroborating witnesses to prove what had happened. While CCTV footage did show Conor and his accuser going into a restroom together, it also showed them together inside a club until around 12:40 AM.

They also interviewed an attendant who was in the same bathroom and he indicated that he didn’t hear any signs of distress that would indicate foul play. In addition, the accuser’s friend suggested that she had never mentioned any kind of attack.

Barbara Llanes, an attorney for McGregor, made the following statement.
