Gable Steveson faced 2019 sexual assault allegations, charges dropped on technicality

Gable Steveson, the Olympic champion wrestler and UFC newcomer mentored by Jon Jones, was arrested in June 2019 along with a teammate on charges of group sexual assault. The alleged victim went to the hospital and immediately filed accusations. The charges were eventually 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 athletes, and their accounts contradicted each other. The law was changed after this case to allow victim testimony under any circumstances.
