This claim is true. In February 2023, Mahomes was accused of grabbing a woman by the neck and forcibly kissing her multiple times inside a restaurant (ESPN). In May 2023, Mahomes was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery and one of battery, with the three aggravated sexual battery charges being dropped in January 2024. The misdemeanor charge of battery came after Mahomes shoved a waiter of the restaurant who tried to come into the room Mahomes and the woman were in (ABC News)Brandan Davies, Mahomes' attorney, said, "Jackson simply wanted the case to be over with and to move on with his life, the matter is now closed and we will not be issuing any further statements” (CNN).

This is a true fact as Mahomes’ attorney Brandan Davies has issued a statement to trustworthy news outlets CNN and People about the charges and sentencing. According to AP News, in May 2023, Mahomes was arrested on aggravated sexual battery charges in late February following an incident at a Kansas restaurant. In January 2024, KCTV later reported that the three felony charges were dropped, revealing additional details about the legal battle. As of March 7, the brother of star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is now required to complete six months unsupervised probation as listed above, confirmed by Davies’ statements. “Jackson is thankful for the support of his family and friends during the last year. Jackson pled no contest to a single count of simple battery and he was given six months of unsupervised probation,” said Davies to CNN and People.
