Jackson Mahomes, brother of Chiefs QB, sentenced to probation in battery case
JOHNSON COUNTY, Kan. (WKRC) — Jackson Mahomes has officially been sentenced to six months of unsupervised probation after he pled no contest to his misdemeanor charge of battery.
Jackson, 23, is the younger brother of Patrick Mahomes, the Super Bowl winning QB for the Kansas City Chiefs. His sentencing came on Thursday, just two months after three of his four total charges were dropped. These charges came in connection to his arrest in May of 2023.
He was originally charged with felony sexual battery after he was filmed by security cameras at Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in Overland Park, Kansas, allegedly shoving an employee and then forcibly kissing the owner three times. All three of the sexual battery charges were dismissed, according to online court records.
“Jackson is thankful for the support of his family and friends during the last year. Jackson pled no contest to a single count of simple battery and he was given six months of unsupervised probation,” Mahomes' attorney Brandan Davies told PEOPLE.“Jackson simply wanted the case to be over with and to move on with his life, the matter is now closed and we will not be issuing any further statements,"
The owner of the restaurant, Aspen Vaughn, had told The Kansas City Star that the location where the incident occurred had to shut down partly due to the negative publicity stemming from the case. She said not only was the restaurant vandalized, but that she also faced multiple death threats.
Vaughn had also said that Mahomes was a friend of her stepdaughter who was also an employee of that location.
She said that Mahomes had gone to the restaurant's basement office with five friends and "forcibly kissed me out of nowhere."
"And I'm telling him, pushing him off, saying 'What are you doing?' and then he proceeded to do it two more times," Vaughn said. "Where the last time I was pushing him off, and I can see on the cameras that somebody was outside the office door, and I was yelling for them to come help because he's big and massive."
Mahomes was also alleged to have shoved a young male worked out of that same room.
The sexual battery charges against Mahomes were dropped due to Vaughn refusing to testify against him, according to NBC Sports.
After the three charges were dropped, Davies said that his client had "done nothing wrong."
