On Monday, the day after his arrest on a criminal charge of engaging in prostitution—later pleaded down to disorderly conduct—San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York, through his lawyer, submitted a motion in his criminal case. Specifically, he asked to the court to seal all records related to it.
His stated justification? The owner’s request, which you can see in full by clicking here, gave a bit of background on the case before outlining the following reasons:
2. The Defendant is an eligible offender as defined by R.C. §2953.31.
3. There are no criminal proceedings pending against the Defendant.
4. The Defendant has been satisfactorily rehabilitated and poses no risk of recidivism.
5. The Defendant’s interest in having the official records pertaining to the cases sealed outweighs any legitimate need of the government to maintain those records.
