A shocking federal indictment detailing former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle's sexual encounters with young victims in exchange for cash are laid out in a federal court filing made public today by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana as Fogle made his first court appearance to plead guilty to both receiving and distributing pornographic images produced by Russell Taylor, the former executive director of his nonprofit organization, The Jared Foundation, and traveling outside of Indiana to engage in sex with minors.
According to the first count of the federal complaint concerning the receipt and distribution of child pornography, Fogle was aware Taylor had secretly-recorded twelve minor victims while they were in his home. Taylor then shared videos of those secretly-recorded encounters with Fogle, as well as other child pornography Taylor had acquired depicting children engaged in sexually-explicit acts. Some of the victims depicted in those videos and images were as young as six years of age. The complaint charges that Fogle received and reviewed the videos approvingly instead of reporting Taylor to the appropriate authorities, resulting in there being more victims. Fogle is charged with sharing those videos and images with other persons.
The second count of the complaint charges Fogle with traveling to New York City to have sex with two minor girls, ages 16 and 17, at the Plaze Hotel on November 3, 2012 and November 4, 2012. The victims shared nude images of themselves with Fogle prior to the encounter. Fogle is accused of returning to New York on January 11, 2013 and paying to have sex with the 16-year old girl at the Ritz Carlton Hotel. The second count of the allegation for traveling to engage in sex with a minor states that Fogle repeatedly solicited pay-for-sex opportunities with minors after first engaging in pay-for-sex encounters with adult escorts after confirming they weren't undercover police officers.
The first count of the indictment carries a prison term of 5 to 12 years, while the second count carries a penalty of up to 30 years in prison according to a plea agreement obtained by Fox 59 News. Federal prosecutors are seeking up to a 12-year prison sentence but no less than five years and $1.4 million in restitution to pay $100,000 to each of the 14 victims, in addition to a fine of up to $250,000. Fox 59 News also reports that Fogle's wife, Katie, has filed for divorce. Fogle is being placed on home detention pending the acceptance of the plea agreement and his sentencing.
TMZ has posted a copy of the federal indictment here. The plea agreement can be viewed here.

Pretty serious business. Taylor was really bad. A dozen sexual encounters with minors as young as six in his house. Then he showed the tapes to Jared. Who kept it all quiet, and even shared the videos with others. And he went to New York to have sex with girls ages 16 and 17 for pay. I’m shocked that the charges turned out to be such serious ones. Shocked. Paying 16 and 17 year olds for sex is pretty bad. But even if one might understand that transgression, because many men have at least thought about sex with 16 and 17 year old girls, the Taylor revelations are simply horrible. His buddy Taylor runs his foundation, which is all about kids. To have Taylor filming himself having sex with a 6 year old, among others, and sharing them with Jared, who then shared them with others. Well I’m just speechless. Just speechless.
He will pay restitution in the amount of $1,400,000 to the 14 minor girls at the rate of $100,000 per minor. And he will serve between 5 and 12 1/2 years in prison, which exact term has not yet been decided. With years of supervision thereafter. And he agrees not to appeal.
Somehow the evangelical christians will still blame the gays.
I don't believe anyone is blaming anyone other than Fogle, who has by all appearances decided to accept personal responsibility for his mistakes.
Josh Duggar is looking for a new gig. He apparently only molested five children. Subway should hire him as their spokesperson to show progress in the right direction.
Anon 1:08 is the poster child for all that is wrong with the gay community. He's seriously off topic and using this as a childish attempt to attack anyone who happens not to pander to him. As for Fogle, he should get plenty of sex where he's going. Hopefully Marion IL. I hear it's a nice place.
Typical. Anon 2:24 bashes the gay for telling a joke, then personifies the joke by spouting a tired "plenty of sex in prison" gay slur. Back off hypocrites. This Jared pedophile thing is all heterosexual, just like your precious Duggars.
Here ya go;

Jared and his homies got nuthin on those guys, who have a lot of gays named in their ranks.
ps your heterophobia is showing
Ooohhh. The 96% so upset that the 4% might “discriminate” against them, they have a new word, heterophobia, which isn’t a word at all, only a loser’s whine. Lets see. Huge, international heterosexual pedophile ring trafficking 6 year old girls for sex. Not a gay in sight. But yet again, a Christian conservative Hoosier dragging Indiana thru the mud in the national spotlight. Jared Fogle. Bumping Mike Pence from the top of the crackpot list.
Not to change the subject, but sadly ironic that being a huge pedophile, raping little kids gets you 5-12 years…….but get caught with weed and spend up to life in prison....the fabulous justice system we have! At least some Democrats are trying to cut these outdated mandatory sentences for possession that mostly incarcerate normal folks while rich pedophiles get slaps on the wrist.
The feds have sent some of these guys up for much longer sentences than what Fogle is facing. Maybe he should consider himself lucky.
What is incredibly SICK is the thought his "foundation" was possibly set up exclusively to get access to young children!!! SHAME on Subway for not thoroughly vetting this guy.
Penn State University received ridiculous sanctions from the NCAA because of Jerry Sandusky and PSU got caught up in the fray.
I will treat Subway the same. Sorry - the corporation owes the franchises some $$$$
"Penn State University received ridiculous sanctions from the NCAA because of Jerry Sandusky and PSU got caught up in the fray."
In the case of Penn State, they were accused of and pretty much admitted to aiding and abetting the coverup of Jerry Sandusky. It wasn't a matter of PSU not vetting Sandusky. Penn State including JoePa knew what was going on. Hence their almost NCAA "death penalty" against their football program.
Subway likely had no idea about Jared Fogle's now outed secret double life. Neither did his wife or his kids. Jared did have a first wife about 10 years ago or so ... One wonders if she knew something and Fogle gave her an extra "sthu" settlement in that divorce.
A former Subway franchise owner says she told Subway several years ago about Fogle's inappropriate talk about having sex with underage girls and asking her to arrange a threesome with her underage cousin. Her attorney prepared an affidavit for her at the time. This woman and her attorney claim Subway said there was nothing they could do about it because Fogle wasn't an employee. When her story aired, Subway said they had no record of her complaint. Someone isn't being truthful.
True. Subway tries to disassociate themselves from Jared, but they don't have clean hands. They had some notice the guy was sick. And it didn't come from an anonymous source. And it wasn't a rumor. It was a clear statement from a Subway franchisee. Subway is slime.

The voice of tolerance, compassion, understanding, and open mindedness!
So as usual, open minded only to their views, tolerant only of their opinions, and if homophobia is a word why isn't heterophobia?
