Olympic champion Gable Steveson faced rape accusations in 2019

UFC newcomer and Olympic champion Gable Steveson, a protégé of Jon Jones, was arrested in June 2019 alongside a wrestling teammate on charges of group rape with use of a foreign object. The alleged victim went to the hospital the night before and immediately filed accusations. There is very little public information about the case, but ultimately the charges were 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. While there is no direct proof of Steveson's guilt, the law was changed after this case so that victim testimony is now admissible in court under any circumstances.
