Bodycam Footage RELEASED Of San Fransisco 49ers Owner Getting Arrested In Prostitution Sting

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was stunned as police descended on his rental vehicle when he tried to meet up with a $160 prostitute in an Ohio trailer park — while still wearing his wedding ring — bodycam footage obtained by the California Post shows.

York, dressed in a Yankees T-shirt, basketball shorts and tennis shoes, is pulled over in his rental Volkswagen SUV by officers and quickly taken into custody without issue.

As he’s placed in handcuffs and patted down, York repeatedly asks officers:”Can I ask what you’re doing?”

Officers then ask York if he’s there to meet anyone, to which York replies no, before adding that he’s “just driving.”

Once York is loaded into the police cruiser, officers search his vehicle, discovering several hundred dollars worth of cash in $20 bills.

At one point, an officer remarks, “He’s got a s—t ton of cash.”

“It’s crazy the people that do this,” another officer added. “They could do whatever they want. They could do other things. They could go other ways. It’s wild.”

York also allegedly claimed to have worked in real estate during his exchange with police, as one officer detailed the information to another.

One of the cops later discovered two of York’s phones in his center console and when a test text was sent to York from the number listed on the undercover ad that led him to the trailer park, one of the phones lit up with an apparent notification that featured the words “the nude girl.”

York was at the mobile park home because he had agreed to shell out $160 to a woman for sex after reaching out to her through the undercover ad on a website known for prostitution, according to a Mahoning Valley Law Enforcement Task Force incident report.

While the 49ers called Jed York’s prostitution sting arrest on Sunday “a legal matter, which has been resolved,” it doesn’t seem like that resolution will lead to any public appearances in the immediate future.

At Wednesday’s one-day NFL owners meeting in Atlanta, York was conspicuously absent, as first reported by Mark Maske of Front Office Sports. Maske later added on X, “Al Guido is believed to be representing the 49ers at today’s NFL owners’ meeting. Jed York has not been spotted to this point.”

It is not uncommon for teams to have multiple representatives, outside of the principal owner, at owners meetings, and Guido is the new CEO of the 49ers organization, a title he gained back in February. However, Guido’s attendance is particularly conspicuous given the recent legal trouble that York has encountered, which some have speculated could lead to major leadership shake-up within the San Francisco sports organization.

East Palestine Police Department arrested York in Ohio on Sunday as part of an online prostitution sting operation conducted by the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force. He was initially charged with engaging in prostitution, according to court records, but that was later amended to disorderly conduct and possession of criminal tools. The Niners’ principal owner pleaded no contest to the charges, was ordered to pay $1,150 in fines and sentenced to two days in jail (one for each charge, which were served concurrently).

York has not been around the team facilities during training camp. Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Tuesday that the 46-year-old executive had moved to Ohio, near where he grew up in Youngstown, for the summer. According to court records, York and his wife started divorce proceedings in May.
