Story summary

Jed York, owner of the San Francisco 49ers, was suspended by the NFL for six games and fined $500,000 after being arrested in Ohio on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. The arrest occurred when York attempted to pay $160 for sex with a woman he believed to be a prostitute. He later pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. Three games of the suspension have already been served, meaning York will return after the team's game against Washington on October 20. The NFL began its investigation in August following the arrest, with York staying away from both the first three regular-season games and league meetings during this period.
