2019 sexual assault allegations detailed against UFC prospect Gable Steveson

A report has resurfaced details about 2019 sexual assault allegations against Olympic champion and UFC prospect Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones. On June 15, 2019, Steveson and a teammate on the U.S. wrestling team were arrested and accused of gang rape involving a foreign object. The alleged victim went to a hospital and immediately filed charges. According to available information, the charges were eventually dropped due to a legal loophole that prevented the victim's testimony from being admitted because she had voluntarily consumed alcohol the night of the alleged incident. There were no witnesses besides the alleged victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other. While there was no direct proof of Steveson's guilt, the law was subsequently changed after this case, so that victim testimony is now considered by courts under any circumstances. The post notes that how individuals view this situation is a personal decision.
