Overview

  • Police arrested Jed York after he responded to an undercover online prostitution ad and arrived at a mobile home park in East Palestine, Ohio.
  • Body‑camera footage released by local officers shows York being handcuffed, questioned and placed in a patrol car during the Aug. 23 stop.
  • Officers found roughly $160 in cash and two phones in York’s rental vehicle and say a text to the undercover number registered on one of the phones.
  • York pleaded no contest to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools, was fined $1,150, received credit for time served and forfeited the cash as part of the plea deal.
  • The NFL confirmed it is reviewing the matter under its personal conduct policy and York was absent from the recent owners meeting while the 49ers have declined further comment.
