Gable Steveson's 2019 sexual assault case resurfaces in MMA discussion

Olympic champion and UFC newcomer Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones, faced serious legal trouble in 2019 while on the U.S. wrestling team. Steveson and a teammate were arrested on June 15, 2019, and charged with group sexual assault involving a foreign object. The victim reported the incident to a hospital 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 night of the alleged incident. While there were no witnesses besides the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other, the law was subsequently changed after this case to ensure victim testimony is always admissible in court.
