Conor McGregor has been banned from sharing any CCTV footage from the night of Nikita Hand's attack.

The MMA star was also ordered to hand over copies of all CCTV material to his lawyers and delete any footage from his personal devices.

A jury found in a civil case last November McGregor sexually assaulted Ms HandIn 2018 he accused him of rape in a Dublin hotel.

At the High Court on Thursday, Ms Hand's legal team cited newspaper articles in which one of McGregor's Italian business partners said the video was "imminent in publication".

Judge Alex Owens said there was "no need for him (McGregor) to possess or disseminate a copy of the CCTV for purposes unrelated to the trial".

He added: "McGregor has a considerable following on social media and the internet being what it is, there is a risk of serious abuse."

The judge said McGregor had "attacked the jury on social media".

"The facts are clear, Nikita Hand prosecuted Conor McGregor and the jury found McGregor raped Nikita Hand. That has been conclusively established," Judge Owens said.

He ordered McGregor to pay Ms Hand €100,000 (£84,000) in damages and €200,000 (£168,000) in costs.

It comes after a judge said if CCTV footage of Nikita Hand was released it would be used selectively and circulated in an "internet black hole".

The nearly 40-minute-long footage, played in open court, shows Ms Hand and McGregor in a lift before and after the attack.

Ms Hand's lawyers told the court McGregor's Italian business partner Gabriel Ernesto Rapisarda quoted him in a January 5 newspaper article as saying CCTV The publication will promote sales of the liquor brand owned by the MMA star and distributed in Italy.

Remi Farrell SC, representing McGregor, said his client had not circulated the material and had not spoken to Mr Lapisada about it.

Addressing the court, the judge referred to posts by business partner and McGregor associate Dee Devlin.

Ms Devlin posted after the verdict: "CCTV did not lie and I look forward to the world seeing..."

The judge also quoted Mr Rapisarda as saying he "thought he could use it and release it in January".

He said that was impossible because "anything other than video will be released this month."

"They had a business relationship and were discussing dark beer in Italy, and when the footage was seen, the brand exploded."

The judge said it was "clear evidence that he would be in serious danger (from the footage) and that this has been discussed".

He went on to note that McGregor posted a series of messages on social media calling Nikita Hand a "liar", which the judge said were "inconsistent."

"You can't call someone a liar, that's not right, it means someone committed perjury in court," he said.

Mr Farrell said there was no reason to believe the CCTV was circulated after the verdict, adding that McGregor had "every right" to possess the footage.

"It is complete nonsense to suggest that the party has no right to own it," he said, adding that there were plans to appeal the verdict in the attack case.

Mr Farrell said reports of the Italian businessman's comments were "hearsay".

"There is no need to issue any kind of order," he said.

However, the judge said there was a "significant risk of this (CCTV transmission) happening".

"Let's face it," he said.

“The current internet is such that if it fell into the hands of anyone else, it would appear in the farthest corner of that black hole and be used by everyone.

"McGregor doesn't need to tell them what to do with it."

The judge noted that if McGregor wanted to appeal, another jury might have seen the video and been affected by it.

Ray Boland SC, representing Ms Hand, told the court it was shocked by McGregor's social media posts.

He said McGregor was seeking to "re-litigate his case in the court of public opinion for abusing his large following on social media".

Regarding his decision, Judge Owens said there was "a real risk that McGregor would show the CCTV to Mr Repisado".

Ms Hand has accused Conor McGregor of raping her and is seeking damages against him and another man, James Lawrence, in a civil case.

In the Irish courts, civil proceedings differ from criminal cases, meaning that neither the complainant nor the defendant is automatically anonymous.

The jury found McGregor had sexually assaulted Ms Hand and was ordered to pay her more than €248,000 (£206,000) in compensation.

The jury found Mr Lawrence did not assault her.

Speaking outside the court after the verdict, Ms Hand said her story was a "reminder that no matter how afraid you are to speak out, you have a right to speak".

McGregor said he would appeal the verdict and thanked "the world for the support I have received."

A judge later ruled that the MMA star must pay Ms Hand's legal costs.
