A spokesman for Ireland’s police service, known as the Gardai, would not confirm if McGregor is the suspect. Karen J. Kessler, a publicist for McGregor based in New Jersey, issued a statement that did not address the validity of the accusation, but asserted his retirement had nothing to do with the investigation. Its typical guests are white-collar workers tied to the financial services or technology companies that have recently relocated to the area. The police investigating the attack retrieved evidence from the room McGregor stayed in and have also secured closed-circuit camera footage, according to a person with knowledge of the investigation. An investigation into Cristiano Ronaldo’s involvement in a sexual assault, reported to the police in Las Vegas in 2009, has become an international spectacle.
