UFC newcomer and Olympic wrestling champion Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones, was arrested in June 2019 along with a teammate on charges of group sexual assault involving a foreign object while training with Team USA. The victim reported to a hospital and immediately filed charges. The case was ultimately dismissed 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 accused wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other. While no direct proof of Steveson's guilt exists, the law was changed specifically after this case to allow victim testimony regardless of circumstances. The post leaves judgment to readers but highlights the controversy surrounding the rising UFC prospect.
