The younger brother of NFL star Patrick Mahomes learned his fate this week after a restaurant owner said he forcibly kissed her.
Jackson Wayne Mahomes, 23, was sentenced to six months unsupervised probation after he pleaded no contest to one count of simple battery, online court records show. Prosecutors had dropped three sexual battery charges after the owner refused to cooperate in the case, Page Six reported.
“Jackson is thankful for the support of his family and friends during the last year,” attorney Brandan Davies told CNN. “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.”
As Law&Crime has reported, he was arrested in May after a restaurant owner said he forcibly kissed her, and a server claimed the defendant pushed him.
Footage showed Jackson Mahomes grabbing her by the throat and kissing her. Aspen Vaughn, the owner of the Aspen Restaurant & Lounge, reportedly said she is the woman in the video, that Mahomes acted without consent, and that she told him this at the time.
“And I’m telling him, pushing him off, saying, ‘What are you doing?’ and then he proceeded to do it two more times,” she told the Kansas City Star. “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.”
He was also accused of pushing a server who smelled weed coming from a private room that Mahomes and friends were using and tried to get them to stop.
Vaughn reportedly said she and her husband kicked Mahomes and the group out after the forced kiss. Vaughn told the Kansas City Star she received death threats, and the bar had been vandalized and partially closed down due to the negative publicity.
Jackson is a social media influencer who has been seen posing for selfies with his superstar quarterback brother at Kansas City Chiefs games, including last month’s Super Bowl.
Page Six also reported that his brother had kept mum about it, telling reporters, “Honestly, it’s kind of a personal thing that I just kind of gotta keep to myself. At the end of the day, I come here to play football and try to take care of my family at the same time. So just kind of keep it to myself and just go out there and play football when I’m in the building.”
