Gable Steveson's 2019 sexual assault case resurfaces with legal details

Details have emerged about UFC newcomer and Olympic champion Gable Steveson's 2019 legal case. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate were arrested and accused of group sexual assault involving a foreign object while both were members of the U.S. wrestling team. The alleged victim reported to a hospital and immediately made accusations. The charges were ultimately dropped due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admissible 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 is no direct proof of guilt, the law was changed after this case to ensure victim testimony is considered regardless of circumstances. Steveson is currently training under Jon Jones.
