Jackson Mahomes appears in court for the first time since his aggravated sexual battery arrest
He was arrested on May 3 after being accused of forcibly kissing a woman, 40
The 23-year-old was seeking a modification to the conditions of his release
Jackson Mahomes, younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, appeared in court Tuesday in relation to his arrest for aggravated sexual battery.
Tuesday marked one of the first times Mahomes, a social media star, has been spotted in public since his arrest earlier this month.
The 23-year-old - known for his outlandish behavior at NFL stadiums - was previously accused of forcibly kissing a 40-year-old female owner of a bar just outside Kansas City.
He arrived at Johnson County court, looking smart in a grey suit, dark tie, black loafers and sunglasses.
Jackson, who has amassed one million followers on TikTok, appeared briefly before a judge to request a modification to his bond.

He was seeking to be able to contact four people that he had been previously barred from speaking with as part of the conditions of his release from jail on May 3.
On Tuesday, the judge granted him permission to contact three of the four.
He promptly left the court after the proceedings without speaking to reports on the scene.
He is due back in court in late August for another hearing.
He was released from jail following his arrest after posting his $100,000 bail on May 3, looking stoic as he hurried towards a vehicle from the entrance of the facility.
According to a Kansas City Star report, the alleged incident took place on February 25 at Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in Overland Park, KS.
Owner Aspen Vaughn accused Mahomes of trying to kiss her twice and grabbing hold of her neck, with video emerging from the incident as well.
'He forcibly kissed me out of nowhere,' she told The Star. 'And I'm telling him, pushing him off saying "what are you doing?"
A judge ruled Jackson Mahomes could have contact with three of four witnesses he asked for permission to contact. The judge denied contact with one witness who has a relationship with one of the alleged victims.

'Then he proceeded to do it two more times where the last time I was pushing him off and I can see on the cameras that somebody was outside the office door and I was yelling for them to come help because he's big and massive.'
"It's disgusting," Vaughn reportedly said to Mahomes at the time. 'Like you're a child and he was trying to say "we should be a power couple," and I'm like "clearly you're out of your mind right now.'''
A lawyer for Mahomes, Brandan Davies denied the allegations at the time.
'Jackson has done nothing wrong,' the attorney told the outlet. 'Our investigation has revealed substantial evidence refuting the claims of Jackson's accuser including the statements of several witnesses.
Mahomes arrested for aggravated sexual battery at 7.42am on May 3
'We have reached out to law enforcement to provide the fruit of our investigation so that they may have a complete picture of the matter.'
The younger Mahomes has been in the spotlight for viral behavior on TikTok, but has also stirred up some controversy with his antics on the sidelines at his brother's games.
In 2021, he poured water on a Baltimore Ravens fan after a Chiefs loss in an incident that was caught on video. He then tweeted: 'They were thirsty.'
A month later, just after the Chiefs played the Washington Commanders, Jackson shared a video of himself dancing on a tribute to late Washington player Sean Taylor, who died in 2007.
He was called out on social media and he apologized for the incident on Twitter, writing, 'I want to sincerely apologize for accidentally being on the Sean Taylor #21 at FedEx Field. We were directed to stand in that area and I meant absolutely no disrespect to him or his family.'
In addition, he was accused of shoving a 19-year-old male waiter on several occasions.
The teenage waiter, who chose to remain unnamed, said Mahomes would not let access the staff office.
'I was going into our office downstairs where the employees are in the employee area, and he's downstairs for I don't know what reason,' the waiter said.

Aspen Vaughn allegedly pushed him off her as he came onto to her three times during incident
'I'm trying to get to the office, and he's like, pushing me out. … And he's like, 'No, get out, get out.''
Mahomes quietly made a return to social media last month almost two months after being accused of assault and sexual assault.
Mahomes, who has a big following on TikTok and Instagram, had been unusually quiet across social media platforms in the weeks following the allegations but began posting again the week before his arrest.
He posted on his Instagram story appearing to be mingling with NFL fans who came into Kansas City for the NFL Draft.
He also made his first TikTok in about two months as he lip-synced the lyrics, 'I've been losing friends and finding peace.'
He also posted a photo of him beaming alongside his brother Patrick to his profile on Saturday.
