Overview
- York was taken into custody at the Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community and booked after a law enforcement operation led by the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force that local reports place on Sunday, Aug. 23.
- He pleaded no contest the next day to misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools and was given concurrent one-day jail sentences credited for time served and ordered to pay roughly $1,150 in fines.
- Court records allege York responded to an online ad and arranged to pay $140 for sex, investigators say his cell phone was the device used to set up the meeting, and $160 seized in the arrest was forfeited to the task force.
- York posted a $5,000 bond after his arrest, had his phone returned under the plea agreement, completed an online course and has filed to seek expungement of the municipal case.
- York is the 49ers’ principal owner who has run day-to-day operations since 2008 and the NFL has confirmed it will review the incident under its personal conduct policy, meaning league discipline or other consequences remain possible.
