Gable Steveson's 2019 sexual assault case discussed following UFC signing

The post details a 2019 incident involving UFC newcomer and Olympic champion Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate were arrested and charged with sexual assault involving a foreign object while part of the US wrestling team during an Olympic cycle. The alleged victim went to the 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 the evening of the incident. No witnesses beyond the victim and the two athletes were present, and their accounts contradicted each other. While no direct evidence of guilt existed, the law was changed following this case to allow victim testimony under any circumstances. The post includes a video of Steveson celebrating with Jon Jones at a Dirty Boxing event.
