Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes repeatedly declined to comment on his brother Jackson’s sexual arrest, describing the situation as a “personal matter” that he would “comply with.”
Speaking to reporters at Organized Team Activities (OTAs), the two-time Super Bowl champion received back-to-back questions on the subject, but declined to address the outstanding allegations his brother faced.
“Ultimately,” said Mahomes, “I come here to play football and take care of my family at the same time.
“So just kind of keep it to myself and just play football when I’m in the building.
‘It’s your family. but you have to come in here and do your job. And that’s what I try to do every day.’

Jackson reportedly grabbed a woman by the neck and kissed her against her will three times
Jackson, Patrick’s younger brother who has developed his own identity as a social media influencer, is said to have grabbed a woman by the neck three times earlier this year and kissed her against her will.
Jackson was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery and one count of battery after the incident at Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in Overland Park, Kansas, on Feb. 25.
At a brief hearing earlier this month, a Johnson County judge agreed to Jackson’s request to amend his bond agreement to allow him to talk to three of the four people listed as witnesses, who are his friends.
Mahomes declined to comment before and after his hearing. He is free after posting $100,000 bail.
The hearing came a day after a redacted affidavit contained more details about the alleged attack on the restaurant’s owner, Aspen Vaugh.
Investigators said Mahomes pushed a waiter into the restaurant who was trying to get into a room where he was with Vaughn. After the waiter left, Mahomes grabbed her by the throat and forcefully kissed her three times without her consent, according to the court document.
She told police that Mahomes was a friend of her stepdaughter and had been causing trouble and had been asked to leave the restaurant in the past.
According to the affidavit, two servers in the area did not hear her call for help, but later confirmed she told them about the attack and showed a bruise on her neck.

Mahomes, a social media influencer on TikTok and Instagram, asked Vaughn not to tell anyone what happened, then said he could help her company because he has a “large social media following,” investigators said.
Vaughn’s friend came to the restaurant and, after discovering what had happened, ordered Mahomes and his friends to leave.
At Tuesday’s hearing, Johnson County District Judge Thomas M. Sutherland said Mahomes was unable to speak to any of the witnesses, who had direct knowledge of the incident. He warned the other three witnesses not to talk to Mahomes about the case, the Kansas City media reported.
Mahomes’ preliminary hearing is scheduled for August 31.
