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

Olympic champion and Jon Jones protégé Gable Steveson faced serious criminal allegations in 2019 while training with the U.S. wrestling team. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate were arrested and charged with group sexual assault involving a foreign object. The alleged victim went to a hospital the night of the incident and immediately pressed charges. However, charges were ultimately dropped due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted because she had voluntarily consumed alcohol the evening of the alleged incident. There were no witnesses other than the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other. While no direct proof of guilt exists, the law was changed after this case to allow victim testimony regardless of circumstances.
