Gable Steveson faced 2019 sexual assault allegations that were dismissed on technicality

UFC newcomer and Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson, who is mentored by Jon Jones, was arrested in June 2019 along with a teammate on charges of group sexual assault while part of the U.S. wrestling team's Olympic cycle. The alleged victim went to the hospital and immediately filed charges against Steveson and his teammate. 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 the evening of the incident. There were no witnesses besides the victim and the two wrestlers, and their accounts contradicted each other, leaving no direct proof of guilt. Following this case, the law was changed to allow victim testimony to be considered regardless of circumstances. The post provides limited additional details but notes Steveson has since celebrated victories alongside Jones at Dirty Boxing events.
