Gable Steveson faced sexual assault allegations during 2019 Olympic cycle

UFC heavyweight prospect Gable Steveson, an Olympic champion and protégé of Jon Jones, was arrested on June 15, 2019, along with a teammate while part of the U.S. wrestling team during the Olympic cycle. Both were charged with group sexual assault involving a foreign object after a victim reported the incident at a hospital. According to the post, 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. No witnesses existed beyond the victim and the two team members, and their accounts contradicted each other. While no direct evidence of Steveson's guilt was established, the law was reportedly changed after this case to ensure victim testimony is considered under any circumstances.
