A Johnson County judge also ordered authorities to find out if Mahomes, the younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, qualifies for work release.
The plea comes in a case that stemmed from an incident at a restaurant in Overland Park in Feb. 2023.
Court documents at the time of his arrest alleged that Mahomes “unlawfully and feloniously” touched someone who did not give consent with the “intent to arouse” or satisfy the sexual desires of himself or another. Documents claim that the alleged victim was “overcome by force or fear.”
Mahomes was initially charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery.
Those charges were dismissed in Jan. 2024, at the request of the Johnson County District Attorney’s office because a witness in the case stopped cooperating with prosecutors.
A jury trial on the battery charge had been set for March 25.
