49ers Owner Jed York Arrested in Ohio Prostitution-Related Case

The 49ers owner was fined $1,150 and got credit for time served after prosecutors reduced the prostitution allegation to disorderly conduct.

  • On Monday, August 24, 2026, San Francisco 49ers Principal Owner Jed York pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges in a Columbiana County, Ohio court after prosecutors reduced the initial solicitation charge to disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.
  • Authorities arrested York at an East Palestine mobile home park on Sunday, August 23, 2026, after alleging he arranged a sexual encounter for $140. The court sentenced him to one day in jail with credit for time served and imposed $1,150 in fines.
  • In May 2026, York filed for divorce from his wife of over 15 years, Danielle York, citing irreconcilable differences. The dissolution case remains pending in Santa Clara County Superior Court, with the couple having agreed to joint custody of their two children, ages 13 and 10.
  • Reviewing the matter under the league's Personal Conduct Policy, the NFL confirmed on Monday it will assess York's case alongside other league personnel. The policy applies uniformly to owners, players, and staff.
  • There is no recent NFL precedent for an owner facing solicitation charges, though New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft faced similar accusations in 2019. York has led the 49ers franchise since 2010, overseeing business and front-office operations.
