Jackson Mahomes’ Post-Incident Struggles: Facing Legal Consequences and Social Media Backlash
After the incident at Aspens Restaurant, Jackson Mahomes found himself entangled in a legal battle. He was hit with charges of three felony counts of aggravated s*xual battery and one misdemeanor count of battery. The court proceedings and allegations have likely taken a toll on his public image and personal life.
Vaughn recounted the incident where Mahomes forcibly kissed her and claimed that she had to push him away multiple times. Surveillance video and witnesses were crucial in building the case against Mahomes. She stated in an interview with The Star:
“Out of nowhere, he just grabbed me by the neck and like forcefully kissed me,” Vaughn added, “and then proceeded to do it two more times, where the last time I was pushing him off.”
In the wake of the incident and subsequent legal issues, Mahomes has opted for silence on social media platforms. The backlash and hate comments directed at him led him to turn off comments on his posts as a measure to protect his mental well-being. The fallout from the incident and its consequences has seemingly cast a shadow over Jackson Mahomes, prompting a retreat from the public eye and prompting him to take measures to shield himself from further scrutiny and negativity.
