Gable Steveson arrested on sexual assault charges in 2019, case dismissed

Olympic wrestling champion and UFC newcomer Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones, was arrested on June 15, 2019, along with a teammate while part of the U.S. wrestling team's Olympic cycle. They were charged with group sexual assault involving a foreign object. The victim sought medical attention and immediately filed charges. The case was ultimately dismissed due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted to the case because she had voluntarily consumed alcohol on the evening of the incident. There were no witnesses besides the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other. While there was no direct evidence of Steveson's guilt, the law was subsequently changed after this case to ensure victim testimony is now considered under any circumstances.
