Report: Subway pitchman to admit to child-porn charges

Jared Fogle, the Subway diet success story and later company pitchman, is expected to plead guilty to child-pornography charges, following a raid of his Indiana home.

According to WXIN-TV Channel 59, six weeks ago authorities seized electronics and other items from Fogle’s Zionsville, Ind., home. Citing unidentified sources, the TV station said he would enter a plea Wednesday.

After the raid, Subway suspended its marketing relationship with Fogle, who lost over 200 pounds as a college student dieting on Subway sandwiches. The company had been in the middle of rebranding the 37-year-old Fogle as a family man, according to the report.

The investigation is tied to child pornography charges on Russell Taylor, who served as executive director of the Jared Foundation, Fogle’s nonprofit to raise awareness of childhood obesity.
