Mahomes received a six-month probation sentence after prosecutors dropped felony charges related to aggravated sexual battery reportedly due to a lack of cooperation from the woman involved. The remaining misdemeanor battery charge stemmed from Jackson allegedly shoving a waiter, who reportedly “tried to come into the room where Jackson was with the woman.

The woman, Aspen Vaughn’s refusal to testify led to the dismissal of the more serious charges. Vaughn reported facing threats and harassment due to the incident, leading to the closure of her restaurant. Jackson Mahomes’ attorney, Brandon Davies, on the other hand, released a statement saying, “Like I said from the beginning, Jackson has done nothing wrong. We had full confidence that the truth of the matter would ultimately be revealed. The defense will reserve further comment until the remaining count is disposed of.”
