Jedd York, owner of the prestigious San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL), who caused a controversy after being arrested in a prostitution sting operation, has ultimately received severe disciplinary action from the league office. In addition to the humiliation of his panicked and incoherent police bodycam footage at the time of arrest being made public, he also faced a heavy blow from the league level.

Sports media outlet "ESPN" reported that "the NFL office imposed a six-game suspension and a fine of 500,000 dollars (approximately 670 million won) on San Francisco 49ers owner Jedd York for violating the personal conduct policy."

Owner York was arrested in August last year after falling into an undercover police prostitution sting operation at a mobile home complex in Columbiana County, Ohio.

According to court records, billionaire York, whose family assets amount to 8.5 billion dollars (approximately 1.14 trillion won), used an alias to access a fake advertisement on a famous prostitution website and agreed to have sexual relations with a woman for 140 dollars before being caught red-handed at the scene.

York was initially charged with prostitution and possession of criminal tools. Subsequently, through negotiations with the Prosecution Service, the charges were changed to the misdemeanor of disorderly conduct. He admitted to the facts of the prosecution and received a sentence of one day in prison, commuted to detention time, along with a fine of 1,150 dollars, concluding the judicial process. However, he could not escape the disciplinary blade of the NFL office.

In addition to judicial punishment, Owner York faced fierce public criticism and ridicule after police bodycam footage capturing the embarrassing arrest scene was released. According to footage released by U.S. media outlet "Fox News," York was wearing a New York Yankees T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers, and was arrested with a wedding ring on his left hand. When police approached in a vehicle to arrest him, York was greatly flustered and repeatedly asked, "May I ask what you are doing?" In response to the police question about who he had come to meet, he mumbled incoherently, claiming he was "just driving."

Police discovered a massive amount of cash, including hundreds of 20-dollar bills, inside the rental car. An on-scene officer shook his head via bodycam, stating, "People who do this kind of thing are truly out of their minds. It is absurd that they can do whatever they want and live in other ways." The true face of a billionaire owner with a net worth of 500 million dollars (approximately 66 billion won), married to wife Danielle since 2011 and father to two sons, was fully exposed.

Owner York voluntarily abstained from the first three games of the regular season before the disciplinary statement was released. York, who is banned from entering the stadium while the discipline remains in effect, can return to the team the day after the game against the Washington Commanders on October 20.

San Francisco Head Coach Kyle Shanahan stated, "The situation of the club has now become clear," adding, "We have already been working without an owner for three weeks, and we will operate the team in the same manner for the remaining three weeks."

Owner York bowed his head in a formal apology statement, saying, "I sincerely apologize to my family, the players, coaching staff, club employees, fans, and partners. This is a mistake with no room for excuses, and I fully acknowledge all responsibility." He added, "Although I failed to set an example for my sons, I want to teach them how to become better by acknowledging failure and learning from the worst moments. Leading San Francisco is a privilege, so I will strive to regain trust."
