York, the owner of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, was caught trying to buy sex for $160. The NFL suspended him for six games and fined him $500,000. (AP)

NFL San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested in August this year while trying to spend $160 (approximately NT$5,090) to buy sex in an Ohio trailer park. On the 2nd of this month, the NFL announced a six-game ban and a fine of US$500,000 (approximately NT$15.9 million).

According to the Guardian, York was trying to have sex with someone he thought was a prostitute. Unexpectedly, it was a police sting operation. After he was arrested, he paid a bail of US$5,000 (approximately NT$159,000). He was initially charged with purchasing sex, but later prosecutors changed the case to two counts of disturbing the peace and possessing criminal tools (using a mobile phone to respond to online sex trafficking entrapment ads).

York later adopted a plea of no contest and was sentenced to one day in prison for each of the two crimes and completed his sentence. One day was deducted because he admitted the crime, so he actually served one day in jail and completed the education course. In addition, the US$160 he spent to buy sex was confiscated by the police, and the court fined him US$1,150 (approximately NT$36,000).

The NFL suspended York for six games and fined him $500,000. He missed the first three games of the San Francisco 49ers this season, which is already counted as the number of suspended games. Yorke deeply regrets his actions and apologizes to his family, San Francisco 49ers players, coaches, employees, fans and partners.

Head coach Boone said that in order to ensure that Judge can compete at 100% in the World Series, it is the right choice to let him continue to rest and recover. Although Judge's recovery is making good progress, the team's ultimate goal is to win the World Series championship. The Yankees only had one hit against the Rays in their first game and lost 0-1.
