Jed York Was Originally Facing a Prostitution-Related Charge
Police originally arrested him on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. Authorities amended the engaging in prostitution count to a disorderly conduct charge.
A judge sentenced Jed York, 46, to one day in jail for both offenses, to be served concurrently and credited him with one day served when he pleaded no contest. The court also fined him $1,150.
Columbiana County Municipal Court records also reveal that as part of the plea deal, authorities were to transfer $160 that they had confiscated to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, and York received his cell phone back. York also completed an online course.
York’s mother’s side of the family comes from Youngstown, Ohio. He also graduated from Cardinal Mooney High School in Youngstown. East Palestine is located about thirty minutes south of there.
Pro Football Talk reports that as a result of his arrest and plea deal, Jed York will now presumably be subject to NFL discipline under the Personal Conduct Policy. He has been the San Francisco 49ers’ chief executive officer since 2008 and officially became the team’s principal owner in 2024 when he purchased equity in the team from his mother, Denise DeBartolo York.
