OP restaurant owner alleged Jackson Mahomes assaulted her
According to court documents, Mahomes’ alleged crimes occurred Feb. 25.
In March, an Overland Park restaurant owner publicly accused Jackson Mahomes of assaulting her and a waiter.
The Kansas City Star first reported the claims made by Aspen Vaughn, the owner of Aspens Restaurant and Lounge, 6995 W. 151st St.
According to Vaughn’s account told to the Star, Mahomes forcibly kissed her multiple times and pushed the 19-year-old waiter at the restaurant on Saturday, Feb. 25.
Surveillance video from the restaurant’s office area provided to the Star appears to show Mahomes grabbing Vaughn’s neck and kissing her.
Vaughn told the Star that Mahomes’ behavior was unexpected and shocking, and she believes he was intoxicated.
Overland Park Police confirmed at the time that they were investigating the matter.
In a statement to the Star, Mahomes’s attorney said Jackson Mahomes “has done nothing wrong” and that they have gathered evidence, including the accounts of several other witnesses, refuting Vaughn’s allegations.
Mahomes’ booking log shows he was taken into custody by the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office at an address on Outlook Street in Overland Park.
Kansas statute defines sexual battery as a felony that involves the touching of a victim who is 16 or more years of age and who does not consent thereto, with the intent to arouse or satisfy the sexual desires of the offender or another.
The charge becomes aggravated sexual battery if the victim is overcome by force or fear, according to statute language.
State statute defines battery as a misdemeanor for knowingly causing physical contact with another person when done in a rude, insulting, or angry manner.
