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

UFC newcomer and Olympic champion Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones, was arrested in June 2019 along with a teammate on charges of gang rape involving the use of a foreign object. The alleged victim went to the hospital the night of the incident and immediately filed charges. 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 the evening of the alleged incident. There were no witnesses other than the victim and the two members of the wrestling team, and their accounts contradicted each other. While there is no direct proof of Steveson's guilt, the law was changed after this case to ensure victims' testimony is now considered by the court under all circumstances. The post notes extremely limited information is available about the case details.
