The preliminary hearing in Jackson Mahomes' felony case has been postponed until early 2024, according to RadarOnline.com. This comes months after he was arrested and charged with aggravated sexual battery. Jackson Mahomes, the 23-year-old brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, found himself in hot water following an incident involving the owner of a local restaurant in Overland Park. On Tuesday, he appeared via Zoom for a scheduling conference.

In February, Jackson Mahomes was accused of grabbing a woman named Aspen Vaughn by the neck and forcibly kissing her. Vaughn, a 40-year-old woman, spoke out about the incident, saying, "I was in shock... Like you're a child and he was trying to say, 'We should be a power couple,' and I'm like, 'Clearly you're out of your mind right now.'"

In addition to the sexual battery charge, Jackson also faces a misdemeanor count of battery for allegedly pushing a waiter at the same restaurant. He is currently free on a $100,000 bond.

The preliminary hearing was originally scheduled for Tuesday but was postponed to January due to scheduling conflicts. Jackson's lawyer, Brandan Davies, requested a 30-day continuance, which was granted by Judge Thomas Sutherland.

Mahomes will continue to be monitored

Davies also asked Judge Sutherland to release his client from pretrial supervision, citing Jackson's consistent negative drug and alcohol test results since being charged in May. However, the prosecution objected, stating that they had information indicating that Jackson had been in contact with someone he was not supposed to have contact with. They argued that he still needed to be monitored.

During the court session, Judge Sutherland reminded Jackson Mahomes that he was not allowed to have any contact with the alleged victim or witnesses in the case. Jackson acknowledged this restriction.

Throughout this ordeal, Jackson Mahomes has maintained his innocence. His lawyer, Brandan Davies, stated back in March that their investigation had uncovered substantial evidence refuting the claims made by Jackson's accuser. They have reached out to law enforcement to provide the results of their investigation.
