Summarised from 4 outlets · 5 reports · Updated 2 Oct, 20:25 · Archive

The NFL suspended San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York for six games and fined him $500,000 for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The suspension follows his arrest earlier this summer in a prostitution sting at a trailer park in Ohio. York pleaded no contest to the charges.

York has already been absent from the team's games and league meetings this season. He was credited with three games served against his suspension, making him eligible to return on 20 October, following the 49ers' game against Washington the previous night.

In a statement, York said: 'Today, the NFL concluded its review, and I accept its decision in full.' The 46-year-old has remained distant from the team during what has been a turbulent period for the franchise, which has also dealt with injuries and other issues.
