San Francisco 49ers' owner Jed York faced arrest over suspicion of engaging in prostitution in Ohio, followed by a reported divorce from his wife months prior to the incident. York, 46, pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors, disorderly conduct, and possession of criminal tools. The divorce filing was made by York on May 11, 2026, with his wife Danielle, citing "irreconcilable differences" but the matter remains unresolved.
York, the 49ers’ primary owner since 2024 and its CEO since 2008, was arrested after responding to a prostitution website ad. He was sentenced to two days in jail, with credit for one day served, and fined $1,150. The NFL will review the matter under its personal conduct policy while the 49ers declined to comment further due to the legal nature of the case.
