 THREE sexual battery charges against Jackson Mahomes — TikTok influencer and brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes — after the woman he allegedly forcibly kissed declined to testify. 


 According to The Associated Press, the charges were dropped Wednesday, Jan. 3, after Johnson County Assistant DA Megan Ahsens filed a motion Tuesday. Jackson is still facing one count of misdemeanor battery, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Mahomes’ 


lawyer, Brandan Davies, said the 23-year-old “has done nothing wrong,” adding, “We had full confidence that the truth of the matter would ultimately revealed.” The Johnson County DA’s office did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s request for comment. Mahomes was arrested in May 2023,


 though the alleged incident occurred at the Aspen’s Restaurant and Lounge in Overland Park, outside Kansas City, in February. 

Mahomes was accused of trying to forcibly kiss the restaurant owner, Aspen Vaughn, as well as shoving a waiter. (The latter incident is where the misdemeanor battery charge stems from.)

 While Vaughn spoke publicly about the alleged incident with the press and even shared surveillance footage of Mahomes allegedly trying to kiss her without her consent, she ultimately declined to serve as a witness. 


Prosecutors said they received an affidavit from her lawyer saying she would not testify, while subp oenas were also not sent to her. “Indeed, it has become clear to the State,

 through conversations with more than one person in contact with her, that [Vaughn] is actively thwarting attempts to serve her to avoid coming to court,” the motion to dismiss read.

A royal expert has warned Duke of Sussex Prince Harry that his wife Meghan Markle could try to ‘control’ his royal return as he plans to take on temporary royal duties following King Charles cancer diagnosis. Speaking to GB News, royal author Angela Levin claimed that Meghan will be "in charge" of Harry if the Duke begins life as a "part-time royal".Angela, who is a major critic of the California-based royal couple, said  "Anything that he [Harry] does here, Meghan will control, she controls him, she holds his arms, she doesn't let him move more than three inches.” The royal expert continued, “And if he comes, if he wants to get a place in Kensington Palace,  it would be an absolute disaster because they will be manipulated by those two. I mean, half of them are global warriors and half of them are terrible victims."  Angela Levin went on claiming: "She will control it - it will be lots of phone calls, lots of telling him what to do. She has to b
