UFC heavyweight Gable Steveson, an Olympic champion and protégé of Jon Jones, was involved in a 2019 sexual assault case that has resurfaced as he builds his MMA career. In June 2019, Steveson and a teammate were arrested and charged with criminal sexual conduct involving a foreign object. The alleged victim reported to a hospital and immediately filed charges. The case was ultimately dismissed due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted because she had voluntarily consumed alcohol on the night of the incident. While there were no witnesses besides the victim and the two accused wrestlers, and no direct evidence of guilt was established, the law was subsequently changed following this case to ensure victim testimony is considered regardless of circumstances. The post includes video of Steveson celebrating with Jones at a Dirty Boxing event.
