Jackson, the younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has been under scrutiny for more than a year. He was charged with aggravated sexual battery stemming from an incident at a Kansas restaurant.

Mahomes was accused of grabbing a woman by her neck and forcibly kissing a woman at the restaurant in February 2023. He appeared at his sentencing hearing on Thursday and pleaded no contest to a single count of misdemeanor battery, online court records showed. Mahomes was then sentenced to six months of probation.
