"Imagine a WOMAN, with her own boyfriend and child, texting provocative pictures of herself to another woman's man with a family and child on the way," Devlin wrote on her Instagram story.

"My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world."

In his official response to the result of the trial, the Irishman admitted to cheating on his partner and announced that he would be appealing the decision.

"People want to hear from me, I needed time," McGregor said on X. "I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches.

"I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.

"As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision."

McGregor added: "I can’t go back and I will move forward. I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym- the fight game awaits!"

Speaking outside of the High Court in Dublin following the verdict, Hand thanked her supporters as she sent a message to victims of sexual assault.

"I am overwhelmed by the support I have received from everybody," she said.

"I want to thank my legal team and my three barristers, they have been amazing from start to finish. I want to thank the justice, the jury and all the witnesses.

"To all the victims of sexual assault, I hope my story is a reminder you have a voice and to keep on fighting for justice."
