3 articles · Updated · Bleacher Report · Aug 27

Summary

  • Roger Goodell said the NFL is reviewing whether Jed York violated the league’s personal conduct policy after the 49ers owner’s arrest in Ohio.
  • Ohio authorities said York tried to pay $160 for sex in an undercover sting, posted a $5,000 bond, and later pleaded no contest after the original prostitution charge was reduced.
  • York was sentenced to one day in jail with credit for time served, fined $1,150, forfeited the $160, and completed an online course.
  • The league has previously disciplined owners under the policy, suspending Jim Irsay for six games in 2014, while Robert Kraft was investigated but not punished after his 2019 case collapsed.
