More details about Jed York's arrest in a prostitution sting come to light and begs questions about the 49ers

More details continue to pour in about the "engaging in prostitution" arrest charges and subsequent conviction on lesser charges of San Francisco 49ers majority owner Jed York.

York was arrested in his native Ohio on Sunday on one charge of "engaging in prostitution" and another charge of "possessing criminal tools." And while the more salacious charge was downgraded to "disorderly conduct" in a plea deal with the prosecutor, it is that initial charge on which York was arrested and arraigned that sticks in the minds fans, media, everybody.

It's the embarrassing charge that raises eyebrows because York is reportedly worth $500 million and the family fortune is believed to hover around $8.5 billion , but he allegedly tried to enlist the services of a prostitute for $140.

49ERS OWNER JED YORK ARRESTED FOR 'ENGAGING IN PROSTITUTION' IN OHIO, PLEADS NO CONTEST TO LESSER CHARGES Did we tell you that York's legal team immediately filed a motion to seal court records? The motion was denied.

And so here comes the details not in the original OutKick story that have since come to light via reporting: York responded to an advertisement on Sunday from what police say is a known prostitution website in Columbiana County, Ohio.

He allegedly "arranged to have sexual activity with a female in exchange for $140," per police.

The meeting with the prostitute was supposed to happen near the Wheat Hill Mobile Home Community – a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio.

In fact, York had fallen for a police sting by the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force and the NFL owner was intercepted by officers when he approached the trailer park.

The mobile home park, by the way, claims it is a victim of circumstances.

It's Facebook account posted that Park addresses were not being used in the sting operation, but rather that's where cops happened to catch up to York.

"This news of this arrest in our quiet community is just as shocking to us as to the rest of you," the post reads.

York was taken into custody when he was found in possession of the cell phone that was used to set up the alleged rendezvous with the person he allegedly believed to be a hooker.

The phone in York's possession "was used to arrange the criminal act," according to court records and that is the reason he was also charged with "possessing criminal tools." York pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor plea deal charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools, per court records.
