Subway Sandwich Scandal: Spokes Person Jared Fogle To Plead Guilty In Child Pornography Charges

Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle
Do you remember this guy? He made claims to convince America that they could lose weight eating sandwiches from Subway sandwich franchises located across the U.S.  Do you recognize him yet? He was chronicled in add campaigns for Subway sandwich shops for a period of some years. Influenced by this guy, people ran out far and wide to savor these (not so great tasting) sandwiches in hopes to slim down, despite the carbs in the processed white bread and sodium in the processed meat. Did it work? The verdict is still out on that one.

Now Jared Fogle has traded in his sandwich hat and alleged weight loss for a more serious offense that has much to do with child pornography.Sources say that Fogle will accept a plea deal, and the U.S. Attorney's Office will hold a press conference to discuss the deal and charges against Fogle.

Subway immediately issued statements saying, "We have already ended our relationship with Jared and have no further comment." 

Charges came after federal agents raided Fogle's Zionville's home in Boone County, Indianapolis in early July. FBI sources confirmed state and federal investigators were serving warrants at his home in connection with child pornography. Several computers and DVD's were seized from Fogle's home.


            

Reporting Child Abuse And Neglect: What You Can Do

To report suspected abuse or neglect, contact your local child welfare agency. Depending on where you live, this agency might be called Department of Social Services, Children and Family Services or Human Welfare. The contact number for your local child welfare agency can be found online at http://www.childwelfare.gov/ If you feel that the child is in an emergency situation, however, call 911 or your local law enforcement agency immediately.
The person who responds to your call will ask you several questions in order to provide the assessment or investigative team with sufficient information. Keep in mind that you do not need to know all the answers to make a report; you just need to be as comprehensive, specific and clear as possible with what you do know. Questions you may be asked include:
  • What is your relationship to the child?
  • What is the child’s name, age and address? (If you don’t know the answers to this question, you can provide descriptive information that will enable investigators to locate the child.)
  • What is the suspected abuser’s name, relationship to the child and address or license plate number?
  • What are the names, address(es) and telephone number(s) of the child’s parents?
  • Can you describe the type of abuse you suspect, when it occurred and/or your reasons for suspecting abuse?
  • What is the current location of the child?
  • What is your assessment of the child’s current level of safety?
  • What can you tell us about the child’s siblings and any related safety concerns?
  • What are the names, addresses and telephone numbers of other witnesses?
  • Are you aware of any previous situations of abuse or neglect and/or the family’s involvement with the child welfare system?
