NFL Team Owner Arrested in Prostitution Bust

He has already been sentenced.

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York has pleaded no contest to criminal charges after he was arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. The 46-year-old, whose family is worth $8.5 billion, according to Forbes, was arrested Sunday morning in Ohio at the Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community in East Palestine and booked at Columbiana County Jail, according to a police report. The arrest comes as the result of collaboration between the East Palestine Police Department and the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force. He was convicted of possessing criminal tools, but prior to his no-contest plea, his other charge for engaging in prostitution was altered to a disorderly conduct charge. The judge sentenced him to one day in prison per charge, which were to be served concurrently. He also had to pay $150 for the disorderly conduct charge and $1,500 for the possession of criminal tools. York has been the 49ers’ CEO since 2008 and is the franchise’s majority shareholder. He grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, and has two sons, Jaxon and Brixton, with his wife, Danielle Belluomini.
