Gable Steveson's 2019 sexual assault case resurfaces amid UFC career

UFC newcomer and Olympic champion Gable Steveson, a protégé of Jon Jones, was arrested in June 2019 along with a teammate on charges of group sexual assault involving a foreign object. The alleged victim went to the 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 the night of the incident. There were no witnesses other than the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other. While there was no direct proof of Steveson's guilt, the law was changed after this case so that victim testimony is now considered regardless of circumstances. The post notes that video exists of a strange celebration between Steveson and Jones at a Dirty Boxing event.
