The Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in Overland Park, Kansas, is closing its doors after the alleged incident involving Patrick Mahomes' brother.
The restaurant posted an ad on social media saying the property was up "for lease" after announcing it was "closed until further notice". Jackson Mahomes was accused of shoving a server and forcibly kissing the female owner, Aspen Vaughn.
Vaughn claims Mahomes grabbed her by the throat and tried to kiss her twice. The accusations were recorded on the restaurant's security cameras.
Stephanie Lopez, an employee at the restaurant, is hoping it will reopen once another tenant takes over. She said, "It's hard to own a company and go through everything that we've gone through. We were so close to making it, and then this whole thing happened."
Vaughn claimed that after going to the police, she was subjected to death threats and harassment. She also suspects vandalization of the restaurant, which has caused water damage from the fire alarm being pulled and the air conditioning and gas lines being cut.
Vaughn said, "I'm feeling attacked by people I've never met. Why do victims not come forward? It's because this is how they get treated."
Mahomes was arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery and one count of misdemeanor battery. He bonded out the same day after authorities requested a $100,000 bond. He has pleaded not guilty in his first court appearance and is due back in court on August 31st. If convicted, he will be on the sex offender registry for 25 years according to Kansas law.
