Subway's Jared Fogle is reportedly planning to plead guilty to child pornography charges

Jared Fogle is planning to plead guilty to child pornography charges, FOX59 reports.

Sources told FOX59 that Fogle will accept a plea deal.

The US Attorney's office is planning to hold a press conference to discuss the deal on Wednesday, according to the report.

The report comes after the FBI raided Fogle's Zionsville, Indiana home last month.

The word pedophile is used way too damned liberally. get caught with a picture of someone 17 years and 364 days old and suddenly you are a pedophile. America needs to have a long conversation with itself about the difference between underage and children because they are not the same.

In no way whatsoever should what i am saying be construed as supporting the illegal actions he may have committed in both possessing pictures of adolescents or of having sex with a 16 year old. i just find the hyperventilating and poor inaccurate characterization of pedophile to be insulting to my intelligence.

America needs to have a long conversation with itself about about why so many grown men think that using teenagers for their sexual gratification is no big deal. Grown men who prey on and exploit teenagers for sex deserve all the rancor and prison time they get.

Five year olds can play doctor with six year olds. Middle aged men cannot rape teenagers or play doctor with five year olds.

If you really don't understand the difference between two teenagers having sex and a middle aged person raping and exploiting the power and age difference between themselves and a teenager, then you have serious, serious issues.

But I do think America has lost its fucking mind about adolescent sexuality. As I said in my original post what he did is criminal in our society but to act like he is some kind of drooling pervert is a distortion of reality.
BTW. Jared Fogle is 38 not exactly middle age no matter what horseshit you believe. Yes he was wrong and must be punished but someone suggested life for a pedophile which began this now tedious discussion. Make any reply you like I am done with this pointless conversation.

18 and 15 is kind of nuts to prosecute.

38 and 16 is gross and inappropriate. if he had been with an 18 yr old, people might think it is too much of an age diff, but not much anyone can do.

development happens emotionally and intellectually in those two years. 38 and 16 ....no.

he has a problem.

38 is almost exactly half of the life expectancy of a man in the U.S. To me that qualifies as middle age.

The difference in maturity between a 38 year old man and a 16 year old is enormous. We as a society know that at the age of 16 don't generally have the emotional and intellectual capacity for making these sorts of decisions.

Is he a pedophile? No that is with prepubescents, but he is a sexual predator.

I don't care how much you have his back, Jared Fogle is a pedophile. You can try and minimize it all year, and he still is. Anyone who thinks "middle school girls are hot" is a pedophile. See article here:

Lock him up. God only knows what this sicko might have done we don't know about.

http://www.people.com/article/jared-fogle-to-plead-guilty-child-porn-sex-1.4-milion-14-victims?xid=rss-topheadlines

According to the documents, Fogle got images of child porn of children as young as 6 years old from Taylor – Fogle knew some of the kids by name and had even met some during social events in Indiana – and had plenty of chances to prevent the abuse of other victims, documents state. If Fogle "had promptly reported what he knew of these activities, then the sexually explicit material involving later victims would not have been produced."


The next day, he sent her texts "offering to pay her a fee if she could find him an underage girl to engage in commercial sex acts with him," saying he would "accept a 16 year old," but, "the younger the girl, the better," the charges state.


This is really bad - Fogle was a close connection of the guy making the kiddie porn, and the Feds know that he knew.

Read the whole thing.

I cannot believe DU's blind eye on these matters. This are EXTREMELY serious charges.

These details are from court documents.

Fogle sent texts to escorts asking them "to provide him with access to minors as young as 14 to 15 years for purposes of commercial sex acts with him" but did so only after having sex with the escorts "to insure that they were not undercover police officers."

The federal charges also shed light on more of Fogle's acts, which include details about Fogle paying a 17-year-old for sex while he was staying at the Plaza Hotel in New York on Nov. 3, 2012.

I mean, he was masturbating in a movie theater, which is a decidedly archaic activity, but also arguably a relatively victimless one.

If you want a reason not to eat subway, try the fact that it's not that difficult, usually, to get some fresher deli meat, bread, etc from the market and put together your own sandwich, which will be better for you and tastier.

But unless there's more to the story, they didn't know what was wrong with this fucker. They just used him in ads.
