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

Gable Steveson, an Olympic champion wrestler and UFC newcomer mentored by Jon Jones, was involved in a 2019 sexual assault case. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate were arrested and accused of group sexual assault with use of an object while members of the US wrestling team. The victim reported to the hospital and immediately filed charges. The charges were ultimately dropped due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted to the case because she had voluntarily consumed alcohol the night of the alleged incident. Following this case, the law was changed to allow victim testimony under any circumstances. The post notes there were no witnesses besides the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other.
