Olympic 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 accused of gang rape involving the use of a foreign object, with the victim going to the hospital and immediately filing charges. The charges were ultimately dropped 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 other than the victim and the two wrestlers, and the testimonies of the parties contradicted each other. While there was no direct proof of Steveson's guilt, the law was changed after this case so that victims' testimonies would be considered regardless of circumstances. The post questions Steveson's character while noting the lack of conclusive evidence.
