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

Olympic champion and Jon Jones protégé Gable Steveson, now a UFC fighter, was arrested in June 2019 along with a teammate on charges of group sexual assault involving a foreign object while he was a member of the U.S. wrestling team. The victim reported to the hospital and filed charges. 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. There were no witnesses besides the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other. While there is no direct evidence of Steveson's guilt, the law was changed after this case to allow victim testimony regardless of circumstances.
