UFC prospect Gable Steveson faced rape allegations in 2019

Olympic wrestling champion and UFC prospect Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones, was arrested in June 2019 along with a teammate on allegations of group sexual assault. The alleged victim went to a hospital and immediately filed charges against the two U.S. wrestling team members. 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. No witnesses beyond the alleged victim and the two wrestlers existed, and their accounts contradicted each other, leaving no direct evidence of guilt. The law was changed following this case to allow victim testimony regardless of alcohol consumption. The post notes Steveson has been seen celebrating with Jones at Dirty Boxing events.
