Police raid home of Subway pitchman for child porn

Post by Hassel99 »

Oh Jared, say it's no so....

Innocent until proven guilty, but YIKES.

ZIONSVILLE, Ind. — Federal authorities raided the home of Subway spokesman Jared Fogle Tuesday morning, FBI sources told FOX59.

State and federal investigators were serving warrants at Fogle’s Indiana home in connection with a child pornography investigation, those sources told the station.

The raid began about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. An evidence truck could be seen parked in the driveway.

AP reports Subway says it’s suspending relationship with spokesman Fogle. State and federal investigators were serving warrants at Fogle’s Indiana home in connection with a child pornography investigation, those sources told the station.

Earlier this year, the former director of the Jared Foundation, started by Fogle, Russell Taylor was arrested on suspicion of possessing and producing child pornography, FOX59 reports.

Investigators said a search of Taylor’s home turned up more than 500 videos with images of child pornography. In May, Taylor unsuccessfully tried to kill himself while in jail.

Fogle said the foundation severed all ties with Taylor following the arrest. Investigators wouldn’t say if Tuesday’s raid was connected to that case.

Fogle gained national fame after attributing massive weight loss to eating Subway sandwiches. He was a freshman at Indiana University at the time and later became a visible presence in ad campaigns for the restaurant, pitching its sandwiches and touting their health benefits.

Is there any kind of guy who gives pedophiles a good name?!
It's possible to do all the right things and still get a bad result.

I'm not surprized by this...the guy always gave me the creeps. Like what kind of person hangs out in Subways eating two to three meals a day there? Maybe he had a hidden camera in the washrooms?

Well, somebody will be enjoying footlongs in jail:

INDIANAPOLIS—Longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle agreed Wednesday to plead guilty to allegations that he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography in a case that destroyed his career at the sandwich-shop chain and could send him to prison for more than a decade.

Prosecutors alleged that Fogle knew the pornography had been secretly produced by the former director of his charitable foundation, which sought to raise awareness about childhood obesity and arranged for Fogle to visit schools and urge children to adopt healthy eating and exercise habits.

Authorities said Fogle offered to pay adult prostitutes a finder’s fee if they could connect him with minors for sex acts, including some as young as 14 or 15 years old.

“This is about using wealth, status and secrecy to illegally exploit children,” U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler said.

Bazinga, another creep taken down!

I sincerely hope his victims get the support and help they need...their lives will never be the same.
