Overview

  • York was arrested by East Palestine police with the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force after responding to an undercover online ad and taken into custody on Sunday.
  • Prosecutors amended an initial charge of engaging in prostitution and York pleaded no contest Monday to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.
  • A judge credited York for time served, imposed concurrent one-day sentences, ordered $1,150 in fines, returned his cellphone and forfeited $160 to the task force.
  • Court records say York arranged to pay $140 for sexual activity and used a cellphone that prosecutors said served as the basis for the criminal-tools charge.
  • York is the 49ers’ principal owner and the NFL review could lead to separate league discipline or governance scrutiny for him and the organization.
