Charges of felony sexual battery against Jackson Mahomes, brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, were dismissed by a Kansas judge.
Court records from Johnson County reveal that the alleged victim, who initially accused Mahomes, refused to testify and stated that the encounter was consensual.
She admitted to being untruthful with the police. Although three felony charges were dropped, Mahomes still faces a misdemeanor battery charge related to a February 25 incident at a restaurant in Overland Park, Kansas.
Mahomes’ attorney, Brandan Davies, expressed confidence in his client’s innocence, emphasizing that Jackson Mahomes had done nothing wrong. Further comments from the defense will be reserved until the resolution of the remaining misdemeanor charge. The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office had arrested Mahomes in May, but he was released on the same day. The accusations included non-consensual touching and “forcibly kissing” the victim, as well as pushing a waiter, leading to the misdemeanor battery charge.
Mahomes denied the initial allegations through his lawyer, refuting claims of drug or narcotic use at the time. He was restricted from using illegal drugs, controlled substances, or consuming alcohol under the conditions of his bond. Jackson Mahomes, a 22-year-old social media personality with a significant following on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, remains a notable presence, particularly at Chiefs games.
In a related development, the article discusses the uncertainty surrounding the participation of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Head coach Andy Reid has not confirmed Kelce’s status, and the decision could impact Kelce’s chance to achieve an eighth season with over 1,000 receiving yards. Kelce, at age 34, needs just 16 yards to reach this milestone, but with only one game left, his participation remains uncertain.
The article also mentions other Chiefs players, Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco, who are close to their own records but are dealing with injuries. Rice is 62 yards away from a 1,000-yard rookie season, while Pacheco needs 65 more for his first 1,000-yard year. Both players were held out of practice for rehabilitation and recovery. Kelce, however, has no reported injuries, and his potential absence could affect the team’s offensive dynamics.
The article concludes with insights into Kelce’s performance this season, noting a career-low yards-per-reception average. Kelce is determined to maintain his streak despite a challenging year, and his absence would equal his lowest number of games played in a season. The tight end had to miss a game earlier in the season due to a knee injury, marking the first time he sat out due to injury since his rookie season ten years ago.
