Gable Steveson's 2019 sexual assault case resurfaces after charges dropped

UFC heavyweight and Olympic wrestling champion Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones, was involved in a 2019 sexual assault case that resulted in dropped charges due to a legal loophole. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate were arrested and accused of gang rape involving the use of a foreign object while he was part of the U.S. Olympic wrestling cycle. The victim went to the hospital and immediately filed charges. However, the charges were ultimately dismissed because of a legal technicality that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted to court, as she had voluntarily consumed alcohol on the evening of the incident. The case had no witnesses other than the victim and the two wrestlers, with conflicting accounts between parties and no direct evidence of Steveson's guilt. The law was subsequently changed after this case to ensure victim testimony is considered under any circumstances. The post notes there is extremely limited information available about the case details.
