Prosecutors have filed a motion to dismiss three felony sexual battery charges from their case against Jackson Mahomes. Per sources who spoke to TMZ, an uncooperative alleged victim has meant that the prosecution has had to amend the scope of their investigation. Despite video evidence tying Mahomes to the alleged assault of a restaurant manager in Overland Park, the woman has told prosecutors that she does not want to press charges. Furthermore, sources have gone as far as to say that the woman had threatened to say she had been untruthful about the assault and that her encounter with Mahomes had been wholly consensual.
The 23-year-old Mahomes was arrested and booked at Johnson County Detention Center in early April 2023. Furthermore, he was reportedly charged with sexual battery relating to a February incident at the Aspen Restaurant and Lounge. "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," Mahomes' attorney told a local FOX affiliate. A judge will rule on the dismissal motion later today.
Patrick Mahomes Praises Taylor Swift
Meanwhile, Jackson's brother Patrick recently went viral for singing the praises of Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of his teammate Travis Kelce. The Chiefs QB called Swift "top tier" and said that Swift had quickly become part of the team after she began dating Travis Kelce. Furthermore, Mahomes said he's enjoying seeing Swift bond with his wife Brittany. Swift and Kelce recently engaged in some pre-birthday shenanigans with the Mahomes. She and Kelce recently partied until 2am with the Mahomeses to celebrate Swift's birthday early.
In late 2023, Swift was spotted getting a little foul-mouthed with the refs during the Chiefs' game against the Patriots. The Chiefs ended a two-game skid with a 27-17 win over the hapless Patriots. However, there were some close calls and tight moments, leading to Swift's animated reactions. The Chiefs, who beat the Bengals last weekend to move to 10-6 on the season, close out the season against the Chargers on Sunday.
