49ers Owner Jed York Arrested in Ohio Prostitution-Related Case
Prosecutors reduced the original prostitution allegation, and York was fined $1,150 after pleading no contest to two misdemeanor counts.
- On Monday, August 24, 2026, San Francisco 49ers principal owner Jed York pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools following his weekend arrest in Ohio.
- Authorities arrested York at the Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community after he allegedly "arranged to have sexual activity" with a woman "in exchange for $140" during a human trafficking sting.
- York received one day in jail for each charge, served concurrently with time served, plus $1,150 in fines and $160 forfeited to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force.
- NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy stated the league will review the matter under its personal conduct policy, which prohibits "conduct detrimental to the integrity of, or public confidence in, the NFL."
- Under NFL bylaws, owners can be removed if 24 of 32 team owners vote for expulsion, establishing a significant governance threshold York potentially faces depending on the league's disciplinary decision.
