Jed York, co-owner of Leeds United and Rangers, was arrested in Ohio over the weekend and pleaded no contest to misdemeanour charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. The charges stemmed from an incident where York responded to an undercover online prostitution advertisement. He was arrested Sunday at a mobile home community in East Palestine, Ohio, and released after posting a $5,000 bond. York received a one-day jail sentence and was fined $1,150. As part of a plea agreement, he will donate $160 to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force and completed an online course.
