INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle traveled to pay for sex acts with minors while he stayed in upscale hotels and received child pornography that he knew had been secretly produced by the former director of his charitable foundation, federal prosecutors allege in a document released Wednesday. The document released by prosecutors in Indianapolis said the allegations involve at least 12 minors who appeared in pornography and two who participated in sex acts. Fogle faces one count of traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography. The document, known as an “information,” is often used to detail charges when a defendant has already agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors. Ron Elberger, an Indianapolis attorney who represents Fogle, declined to comment Tuesday when asked about reports that Fogle was expected to plead guilty to child-pornography charges. Fogle, 37, became Subway’s pitchman after shedding more than 200 pounds as a college student, in part by eating the chain’s sandwiches. He was the public face of the company for more than 15 years – a period in which its number of locations tripled, making Subway the world’s largest restaurant chain. Subway suspended the partnership in July after agents raided his home in the affluent Indianapolis suburb of Zionsville, and the chain said this week that it had ended its relationship with Fogle.
