A report has resurfaced details about 2019 sexual assault allegations against UFC heavyweight Gable Steveson, the Olympic champion and protégé of Jon Jones. On June 15, 2019, while Steveson was a member of the U.S. wrestling team during an Olympic cycle, he and a teammate were arrested and accused of gang rape involving a foreign object. The alleged victim went to a hospital and immediately filed charges. The charges were ultimately dropped due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted 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 Steveson's guilt, the law was changed after this case to allow victim testimony under any circumstances.
