Report resurfaces 2019 assault allegations against UFC's Gable Steveson

A Telegram post has brought renewed attention to 2019 criminal allegations against Olympic champion and UFC newcomer Gable Steveson. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate on the U.S. wrestling team were arrested and accused of group sexual assault involving a foreign object. The victim went to a hospital and immediately made allegations. 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 on the evening of the incident. There were no witnesses besides the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other. The law was reportedly changed after this case to allow victim testimony under all circumstances. The post notes there is no direct evidence of Steveson's guilt but questions the circumstances surrounding the case.
