Gable Steveson, an Olympic champion wrestler and UFC newcomer who is mentored by Jon Jones, faced serious legal issues in 2019 during his Olympic training cycle. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate were arrested and charged with group sexual assault involving a foreign object after a woman reported the incident to police and went to a hospital. The charges were ultimately dropped due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted because she had voluntarily consumed alcohol on the evening of the incident. There were no witnesses other than the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other, leaving no direct proof of guilt. The law was changed after this case to ensure victim testimony is now admissible under any circumstances. The post notes there is video of Steveson celebrating with Jones at a Dirty Boxing event.
