Subway Jared Fogle Raided For Child Porn

[OneFinger]

I was also one of those that was skeptical of the child porn accusation. I'm willing to admit I'm wrong and he appears totally guilty. Hope he gets the maximum sentence.

 

I don't have a lot of patience for people that are into kids. Get him off the streets and into some place that can help him.

One thing to remember is that even if it's not true, the government is really good at railroading you if they want to.

 

 

I have no sympathy for child porn. But I may have actually seen some once. Nothing with children. They were at the very least teenagers. I wasn't searching for it. It was a long time ago when I was 16. I was at Kutz Camp outside Warwick, NY. We had a class on Social Justice/Social Action. We must have been talking about exploitation/porn. I remember the teacher brought either a magazine or maybe only xeroxed copies of the magazine (more likely as I doubt he would have had enough magazines for the entire class). It was an all male magazine that I think was from Germany. It showed young-ish guys. I don't know that they were younger than 18 or not. But considering the exploitation theme-possibly. Talking about that magazine was I think where I learned the term 'chicken' in a gay sense. I can't remember if the pictures showed 'the goods' or had (more likely) their private parts blacked out/held their hands over them. Thinking back-it seems such a strange experience to show to a mixed - sex class of adolescents. I mean it was definitely informative. But I wonder if the camp authorities knew the teacher was doing that. And in this day and age I have trouble seeing it occurring for adolescents as young as we were.

PS The more I think back 38 years the more I'm sure most of what we saw was xeroxed pages most likely with the goods covered up. But I still have this vague memory of an actual magazine with a yellow cover featuring black and white photos of naked male teens. I was probably more interested than the average student. But of course I was gay. And at 16 these guys were near my age.

Former Subway sandwich chain spokesperson Jared Fogle will plead guilty to charges of possessing child pornography, WXIN-TV reported.

 

The company dropped Fogle last month, after federal and state officials raided his home in Indiana, ending his 15-year association with the restaurant chain.

 

Officials from the US Attorneys office will reportedly hold a press conference on Wednesday announcing the charges against Fogle, and his agreement with prosecutors.

and? you were right. good for you

This brings up a point. I've met several guys over the years-now adults. But they've told me that when they were younger-maybe 16- hopefully not younger-they were using methods to meet older guys for sex. It's always weirded me out. Obviously some 16 year olds are emotionally mature enough to handle sex. But so many wouldn't be. And I don't think in general it's healthy. And 16 is only a step away from 15. And also obviously there are 15 and 16 year olds having sex. But it's a different case entirely when they are having sex-lets say with someone no more than 4 to 5 years older-although I know most state laws that have an age exception for statutory rape have a smaller age range than 5 years-and the partner is much older.

Who's the second one? But I need to say in all honesty Benjamin's reputation is really not that bad.

I think you mean the bigger house, BVB.

 

The one the FBI raided was unquestionably big. Who even knew you could get to that kind of neighborhood on the Subway.

I had missed the earlier allegations that this is about MORE than kiddie porn, which is bad enough ...

 

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) —Jared Fogle agreed Wednesday to plead guilty to allegations that he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography. Authorities said Fogle offered to pay adult prostitutes a finder's fee if they could connect him with minors for sex acts.

 

The agreement released by prosecutors said Fogle will pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14 minor victims, who will each receive $100,000. He will also be required to register as a sex offender and undergo treatment for sexual disorders. The government agreed not to seek a sentence of more than 12½ years in prison, and Fogle agreed not to ask for less than five years, according to court documents. Federal judges have wide discretion in sentencing, and Fogle could get a longer sentence.

 

Federal prosecutors allege in the documents that Fogle traveled to pay for sex acts, including with minors, from 2007 until as recently as June and that he planned business trips to coincide with his sexual pursuits.

 

Fogle is accused of having sex with two 16-year-old girls at hotels in New York City. One of the girls told investigators she had sex with Fogle three times in November 2012, when she was 16, and again two months later, when she was 17. After that meeting, Fogle allegedly texted the girl and offered to pay her a fee if she could find him another underage girl to pay for sex acts.

 

Between 2011 and 2013, Fogle also repeatedly sent text messages to escorts, "soliciting them to provide him with access to minors as young as 14 to 15 years," the documents said, adding that he would only make such requests after engaging in sex acts with the escorts to "insure that they were not undercover police officers."

 

The documents also alleged that Fogle on multiple occasions received sexually explicit images and videos of minors produced by Russell Taylor, 43, who ran the charitable Jared Foundation.

 

Can the 14 minor victims file additonal, separate suits, for additonal damages, against Fogle? Or is it more likely they have agreed not to do that as part of his plea deal? $100,000 apiece sounds like modest compensation to the victims. (Fogle's net worth was estimated at $15 million by celebritynetworth.com.)

 

And are we likely to hear about additional charges brought against any adults who helped procure minors for sex?

I don't like this. But I also wouldn't like one of us meeting a pre-legal adolescent either.

Prosecutors have no interest in limiting Mr. Google's liability, but he does. However, that would require his victims to be party to any agreement and for a release of claims to be part of it.

Addiction, and now divorce:

 

The wife of Jared Fogle, the ex-Subway spokesman who is facing child pornography charges, released a statement on Wednesday announcing that she plans to seek a divorce, according to multiple sites.

 

Katie Fogle released the statement on the same day that Jared, 37, is expected to plead guilty to charges that he traveled across state lines to have sex with minors as well as possessed and distributed child pornography.

Before Mr. Fogel landed the job of lifetime, he was a college student drug dealer and so I think that his doing a bit of jail time was in the time line that got diverted when Subway hired him and this is just a return to the proper time line, You cannot outrun your fate.

New info that I hadn't heard before. Sounds like he has multiple "issues" in his past and current life.

 

Personally, I'm glad he's no longer got access to children and hope that his sentence is appropriate. Also very glad he'll be providing $100,000 to each of his victims.

innocent until proven guilty folks. this is still America

 

That's right folks!

 

Jared Fogle had something for minors, but it wasn’t money: Turns out his foundation to help battle childhood obesity did little but raise the Subway pitchman’s profile, USA Today reports. According to tax records, the Jared Fogle Healthy Lifestyle Nationwide School Grant Program spent an average of just $73,000 annually between 2009 and 2013 and never issued a grant. This despite Fogle’s promise to give schools and community organizations $2 million to battle the condition that so affected his own life

Now where's that unlike-but-genuine-thanks-for-letting-us-know button?

[Tonyko]

TODAY it is VERY difficult for authorities to leap to accusations of guilt in these cases WITHOUT pretty difinitive PROOF. Thaz why I felt he was guilty from the start. NO SO 20 years ago or more when innocent ppl could be railroaded. Watch if you haven't the BRILLIANT Doc "Capturing The Friedman's" . You find out DECADES later that EVERYTHING that sent this Long Island PHD Dad to prison where he shortly died of a heart attack was a LIE, the boys lied, the authorities pressured them to lie, etc etc etc. NOW this guy WAS in fact a pedophile, and HAD molested boys in his past, and DID possess kid porn mags, and admitted he WAS attracted to young boys, so he WAS in essence guilty. He just didn't happen to be guilty of molesting ANY of the dozens of boys he taught computers to in his basement which is what he was convicted of. NOW, the rules have changed. PARENTS ARE allowed to be present if their kids are questioned, VIDEO of interviews are mandatory, as is TWO officers present during questioning. Think the days of just accusations in themselves being enough to bury someone are over.

Jared Fogle was sentenced to 15 years, eight months in prison Thursday for possession and distribution of child pornography and traveling across state lines for commercial sex with a minor.

 

Judge Tanya Walton Pratt announced the sentence for the former Subway pitchman in federal court in Indianapolis.
