UFC heavyweight Gable Steveson, an Olympic champion and protégé of Jon Jones, was arrested on June 15, 2019, along with a teammate from the U.S. wrestling team on allegations of gang rape involving the use of a foreign object. The alleged victim sought medical attention and immediately filed charges. Due to limited publicly available information about the case, details remain scarce. The charges were ultimately dropped due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted as evidence because she had voluntarily consumed alcohol on the evening of the incident. With no witnesses other than the victim and the two wrestlers, and contradictory statements from both sides, no direct proof of Steveson's guilt was established. Following this case, the law was amended to ensure that victims' testimonies are admissible in court regardless of alcohol consumption circumstances.
