Jed York arrest details: What to know about 'prostitution' charges against 49ers owner
York, 46, was arrested in East Palestine, Ohio on Sunday and initially charged with one count in engaging in prostitution. That charge was amended to a disorderly conduct charge by the time he took to the stand on Monday morning.
Jed York, the owner of the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested in Ohio on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. The 46-year-old, a native of Youngstown, Ohio, pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors related to the incident. York was sentenced to a two-day jail term, with one day credited for time served, and fined $1,150. The charges stem from an alleged meeting arranged through a prostitution website, where he planned to meet a woman for $140, but was caught in a sting operation arranged by the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force.
The 49ers released a statement expressing that as the matter was a legal one, they would not provide any further comment. York's arrest occurred in East Palestine, Ohio, about 30 minutes from his hometown of Youngstown.
