Prosecutors are working to drop three felony charges of aggravated sexual battery against the younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, RadarOnline.com can report.
In a sudden development to come nearly one year after Jackson Mahomes, 23, was accused of committing sexual battery against a woman at a Kansas City bar in February 2023, the prosecutors in the case requested that a judge dismiss the felony charges.
Jackson Mahomes, 23, was accused of grabbing and kissing a woman without her consent in February 2023.
According to court documents released on Tuesday, the Johnson County District Attorney's Office said that Jackson’s alleged victim refused to cooperate with prosecutors regarding the case.
"The State is not seeking a continuance to continue to serve when she has made her lack of cooperation abundantly clear," the prosecutors wrote in their motion to dismiss on Tuesday.
Prosecutors also revealed that the woman “would say she has not been truthful to police” and that the February 2023 encounter with Jackson was “consensual.”
An affidavit signed by Jackson’s alleged victim also found that she "never contacted law enforcement when the alleged acts occurred" and that she allegedly planned to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights regarding the sexual battery case.
The Johnson County District Attorney's Office said that Jackson’s alleged victim refused to cooperate with prosecutors regarding the case.

Jackson was arrested three months later on May 3 and charged with three felony counts of aggravated sexual battery and one misdemeanor count of battery. He allegedly pushed a 19-year-old waiter at the bar shortly before the purported sexual battery transpired.
"Every interaction between people needs to be placed in the proper context," Jackson’s lawyer said shortly after a video of the incident went viral online.
