Leeds United and Rangers co-owner Jed York has been jailed in the US, for a day.
York, also the owner of NFL franchise San Francisco 49ers, pleaded no contest to a charge of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools. He was sentenced to a day in jail for each count, which was served concurrently.
On Sunday 23 August he was initially arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution but that charge was amended to disorderly conduct, according to records confirmed by the NFL.
In America, a no-contest plea means a defendant accepts the conviction and punishment without an admission of guilt. He was also fined a total of £873.
San Francisco 49ers said in a statement: “As this is a legal matter, which has been resolved, we will not be providing any further comment at this time.”
An NFL statement read: “We are aware of the matter which will be reviewed under the personal conduct policy.”
Leeds United have refused to comment.
