Kansas.- Jackson Mahomes, brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was jailed Wednesday on charges of aggravated sexual assault for an alleged altercation at a Kansas restaurant in late February.
Jackson Mahomes, 22, was charged Tuesday with three counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of battery, online court records show. He was being held on $100,000 bond and was due to make an initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon. Under the conditions of his bail, he will not be allowed to discuss his case publicly once he is released.
The probable cause affidavit in the case was not immediately available. But The Kansas City Star reported that police previously confirmed they were investigating a February 25 incident involving Jackson Mahomes at a restaurant in Overland Park, a Kansas City suburb.
Jackson Mahomes’ attorney, Brandan Joseph Davies, said in a statement that the court barred him and his client from commenting. But he issued a statement in March, when the allegations first surfaced, saying there was “substantial evidence refuting the claims of Jackson’s accuser,” The Star reported.
‘He kissed me by force’
Aspen Vaughn, owner of Aspens Restaurant and Lounge, told the newspaper in early March that Jackson Mahomes was a friend of her stepdaughter and had frequented the restaurant where her stepdaughter works. She said that he had been there earlier on the day of their meeting and that he had been nice.
She provided The Star with a photo of a bruised neck and a video that she said showed Jackson Mahomes grabbing her by the neck and kissing her at least twice.
“He forcefully kissed me out of the blue,” he said, calling the advances disgusting and shocking and noting that he thought he was intoxicated.
Aspen Vaughn did not immediately respond to a Facebook message, and the restaurant did not immediately respond to a phone message seeking comment on the charges.
The Chiefs declined to comment, saying it was a personal matter involving a player’s relative, but not a member of the organization. Patrick Mahomes does not have a spokesperson and has not commented on the matter on Twitter.
