Back in late February, Jackson Mahomes, the 22-year-old younger brother of star Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was accused of assaulting a waitress and the owner of a restaurant in Overland Park, Kansas.
The reports stated that Mahomes allegedly shoved a 19-year-old male waiter at Aspens Restaurant and Lounge, and also forcibly kissed the female owner.
Needless to say, his defense didn’t look too hot after this video circulated on social media:
And now, Mahomes has officially been charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery and a fourth count of battery. He was booked into the Johnson County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond, according to KCTV 5.
Back in March, the 22-year-old’s lawyer shared a statement denying the claims against him:
“We have provided law enforcement with the tools and evidence they need to evaluate the claims against Jackson. Every interaction between people needs to be placed in the proper context.
Releasing a short clip of any video does not provide proper context. We have faith in the process and look forward to a swift resolution of the matter.”
An arraignment hearing has been set for Friday, May 5th at 1:30 PM.
The Twitter world was letting Mahomes have it:

Allegations Of Sexual Assault
In a statement back in March, police confirmed that they were investigating the incident but didn’t provide any details:
“The Police Department is aware of an incident that occurred on Feb. 25, 2023, at a business near 151st and Metcalf. The department is still investigating. Releasing any additional information would be inappropriate at this time. Anyone with information should contact the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.”
The owner of the restaurant, Aspen Vaughn, provided video surveillance of the incidents showing Mahomes grabbing her by the throat and kissing her, telling the Kansas City Star that she believed Mahomes was intoxicated:
“He 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 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.”
According to Vaughn, Mahomes is a frequent guest of the restaurant and friends with her step-daughter. She also posted a picture of herself with Mahomes back in December, but said that Mahomes is often disruptive when he comes into the restaurant.
This obviously isn’t the first time the younger Mahomes has found himself embroiled in controversy.
Back in 2021, he made headlines for pouring water on heckling Baltimore Ravens fans, TikTok dancing on the memorial of the late Washington great Sean Taylor, and also going scorched earth on a bar in Kansas City because they didn’t cater to him like a celebrity.
After the Chiefs won the Super Bowl last month, Mahomes could be seen on the field in postgame interviews filming his trademark cringey TikToks – apparently unaware that he had nothing to do with the team’s success.

Seems like this kid’s long overdue for a reality check – and he may just be getting one from the police soon enough.
Brittany Mahomes Comes To Jackson’s Defense
While Jackson’s brother hasn’t spoken publicly about the incident, Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany did come to Jackson’s defense last month.
Matthews held a Q&A with her followers on her Instagram story, and one asked her:
“How do you feel about the comments about your BIL?”
She responded:
“They are ignorant. He is a human just trying to live his life and find his way and until you walk a day in his shoes (which no one ever will) you have no right to say sh*t about him.
So it’s best just to shut up.”
So, if you were wondering if the Mahomes family would come to Jackson’s defense on this latest move, it seems that they already have.
