Super Bowl LVII winner Patrick Mahomes’ brother was arrested Wednesday and held on $100,000 bond after allegations of aggravated sexual battery.
Jackson Mahomes, TikToker and younger brother to the Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback was arrested shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday by the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office after charges were filed Tuesday connected to a February incident. The social media influencer was hit with three felony counts of aggravated sexual battery and a misdemeanor of battery, according to The Kansas City Star,
Allegedly, while at Aspen’s Restaurant & Lounge in Overland Park, Kansas on February 25, Mahomes had grabbed owner Aspen Vaughn, 40, by the throat before kissing her multiple times after asking to speak with her privately in her office. Security footage from the restaurant, posted by the Daily Mail, showed what appeared to be repeated instances of the same allegation.
Speaking with the Star after the incident, Vaughn detailed, “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.”
The misdemeanor charge was said to have resulted from Mahomes allegedly shoving a 19-year-old male waiter a number of times who was attempting to retrieve a personal item from the basement office.
Prior to the arrest, Brandon Davies, Mahomes’ attorney, had provided a statement to the outlet that argued, “Jackson has done nothing wrong. Our investigation has revealed substantial evidence refuting the claims of Jackson’s accuser, including the statements of several witnesses. We have reached out to law enforcement to provide the fruit of our investigation so that they may have a complete picture of the matter.”
Another statement from Mahomes’ lawyer provided to KCTV5 read, “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 context. We have faith in the process and look forward to a swift resolution of the matter.”
Also speaking out on the matter was his sister-in-law Brittany Mahomes who, according to Fox News, took aim at critics and stated, “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 to just shut up.”
Mahomes’ arraignment was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
