Jed York's Bodycam Released After Prostitution Arrest
Jed York, 46, owner and CEO of the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested August 23 in East Palestine, Ohio, in a law enforcement prostitution sting. He pleaded no contest Monday to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to one day in jail, credited as time served.
- $140 was the agreed-upon amount for sex, per court documents.
- $1,150 in fines was ordered by the judge at sentencing.
- York used the alias 'Joe' and communicated through an undercover ad on a prostitution website.
- His cellphone, used to arrange the encounter, was the basis for the criminal tools charge.
Why it matters: The NFL's personal conduct policy gives the league authority to discipline owners for off-field conduct. The league confirmed it is reviewing the matter.
- York filed for divorce from his wife, Danielle Belluomini, in May, citing irreconcilable differences.
- The arrest was made by the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, which conducts sting operations targeting prostitution solicitation.
