Jared Scott Fogle"[https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2805441/USA-answer-to-Fogle-sentence-appeal.pdf NO.15-3770 UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. JARED S. FOGLE, Defendant-Appellant] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161019155517/https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2805441/USA-answer-to-Fogle-sentence-appeal.pdf |date=October 19, 2016 }}." p. 2 (PDF p. 7/42). ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|f|oʊ|g|əl}}; born August 23, 1977) is an American former spokesman for Subway restaurants and convicted sex offender. Fogle appeared in Subway's advertising campaigns from 2000 to 2015 until an FBI investigation led to him being convicted of child sex tourism and possessing child pornography.

While a student at Indiana University, Fogle lost {{convert|245|lb|abbr=on}} between 1998 and 1999. Having frequented a Subway restaurant as part of his diet plan, he was hired to help advertise the company the following year. Fogle's popularity led to his appearances in over 300 commercials during his 15 years with Subway, alongside other media appearances.

Allegations of Fogle having inappropriate relations with minors began in 2007 but did not gain traction until 2015 when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) uncovered that he received child pornography from an associate. Pleading guilty to the child sex tourism and child pornography charges the same year, Fogle was sentenced to 15 years and 8 months in federal prison. As of 2025, he remains incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution, Englewood.

Fogle first came to media attention in April 1999, via an article published in the Indiana Daily Student written by a former dormmate about Fogle losing {{convert|245|lb|abbr=on}} by exercising and eating a diet of Subway sandwiches.{{cite news|first=Christina|last=Littlefield|url=https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-jared-fogle-subway-20150707-htmlstory.html|title=The Subway guy: How Jared Fogle went from overweight college student to cultural icon|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|location=Los Angeles, California|date=July 7, 2015|access-date=December 2, 2019|archive-date=September 26, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926203106/https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-jared-fogle-subway-20150707-htmlstory.html|url-status=live}}{{cite book| first1= Chip| last1= Heath| first2= Dan|last2=Heath|title=Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die|title-link=Made to Stick| date=December 18, 2006|pages=[https://archive.org/details/madetostickwhyso00heat/page/218 218–221]| publisher=Random House| location= New York City|isbn=978-1-4000-6428-1}} Subsequently, Fogle was featured in a Men's Health magazine article, "Stupid Diets ... that Work!"{{cite magazine| first= Duane|last=Swierczynski|url=http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/2333652/stupid-diets-that-work|title=Stupid Diets ...

Fogle changed his eating habits upon the switch to eating at Subway, replacing his 10,000-calorie-per-day food consumption with one small turkey sub and one large veggie sub along with some baked potato chips and diet soda, totalling about 2,000 calories.{{cite web | url=https://www.medicinenet.com/subway_diet/definition.htm | title=Medical Definition of Subway diet | access-date=September 22, 2021 | archive-date=March 27, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220327020207/https://www.medicinenet.com/subway_diet/definition.htm | url-status=live }} A Chicago-area Subway franchisee took Fogle's story to Subway's Chicago-based advertising agency.

As a test, the company ran a regional television advertising campaign. The first ad aired on January 1, 2000, introducing Fogle and his story with the following disclaimer: "The Subway diet, combined with a lot of walking, worked for Jared. We're not saying this is for everyone. You should check with your doctor before starting any diet program. But it worked for Jared."{{cite news| first= Bill| last= Mardis| url= http://somerset-kentucky.com/local/x681549706/-Subway-Guy-Visits-Somerset| title= 'Subway Guy' Visits Somerset| newspaper= Commonwealth Journal| date= September 3, 2008| access-date= September 20, 2013| archive-date= September 21, 2013| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130921060224/http://somerset-kentucky.com/local/x681549706/-Subway-Guy-Visits-Somerset| url-status= live}}

The introductory test ads were a success, so Fogle subsequently appeared in more television commercials as well as sponsored in-store appearances throughout the United States. He gave talks on the benefits of fitness and healthy eating.{{cite web| url= https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-subway-diet-02-03-2004/|title=The Subway Diet: Jared Fogle Becomes A Celebrity By Losing Weight |work=48 Hours|publisher=CBS| location= New York City| date= September 3, 2004|access-date=February 18, 2008|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080112233202/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/02/48hours/main603484.shtml|archive-date=January 12, 2008|url-status=live}} Fogle came to be known as The Subway Guy.

He added, "you know you've made it when shows like South Park start parodying you".{{cite news |first=Bob|last=Levey|title=Q&A With Bob Levey|newspaper=The Washington Post|date=March 18, 2003}} Fogle was also parodied in the 2017 video game South Park: The Fractured but Whole; this occurred after his child pornography conviction.{{Cite web |date=2017-10-25 |title=South Park: Fractured But Whole - How To Beat Every Boss {{!}} Strategy Guide |url=https://gameranx.com/features/id/124387/article/south-park-fractured-but-whole-how-to-beat-every-boss-strategy-guide/ |access-date=2022-07-07 |website=Gameranx |language=en-US |archive-date=July 7, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220707132432/https://gameranx.com/features/id/124387/article/south-park-fractured-but-whole-how-to-beat-every-boss-strategy-guide/ |url-status=live }}

In February 2008, a Subway campaign called "Tour de Pants" celebrated Fogle maintaining his weight loss for a decade. As part of the campaign, Fogle made an announcement that he would retire his pair of 62-inch (157-centimeter) pants to a museum at the end of the advertising tour.{{cite magazine|first=Emily|last=Bryson York|url=http://adage.com/article?article_id=125142|title=Subway Can't Stop Jonesing for Jared|magazine=Advertising Age|date=February 18, 2008| access-date=February 18, 2008}} Beginning in 2008, Fogle's presence in Subway advertisements decreased due to the company's placing a new emphasis on its "$5 Footlong" promotion.{{cite web| first= Matthew| last= Boyle| url= https://www.yahoo.com/news/pf_article_108119.html| title= The Accidental Hero| website= Yahoo! | date= November 10, 2009| access-date= July 12, 2017}}{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

The article further noted that, on average, the foundation spent $73,000 a year, with the majority of that figure paying the salary of the foundation's executive director. More than one-quarter of the funds were unaccounted for per the foundation's tax records. Daniel Borochoff, president of the non-profit charity watchdog group CharityWatch, was quoted in the USA Today article as saying, "If Jared was really interested in helping children through his foundation, he could have gotten more money. As with a lot of celebrities, the charity appears to be more about image-enhancement than charitable deeds."

The Secretary of State of Indiana dissolved the organization in February 2012 because it did not pay the required $5 annual reporting fees during the two previous years, despite being requested to do so on multiple occasions.{{cite web| first= Rick| last= Callahan| title=Future of Subway pitchman's foundation unclear after raid| url= http://www.salon.com/2015/07/09/future_of_subway_pitchmans_foundation_unclear_after_raid/|website=Salon.com| publisher=Salon Media Group| location=San Francisco, California |date= July 8, 2015|access-date=May 16, 2016| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160604023642/http://www.salon.com/2015/07/09/future_of_subway_pitchmans_foundation_unclear_after_raid/|archive-date=June 4, 2016|url-status=live}}

Legal history

= Child pornography investigation and arrest =

In 2007, Fogle came to the attention of state and federal law enforcement agencies after Sarasota, Florida, journalist and radio host Rochelle Herman-Walrond told the Sarasota Police Department he made lewd comments to her about middle school-age girls; she had met Fogle at a local middle school for a health event, as he was in Sarasota for his speaking tour. She made recordings of Fogle's remarks and saved text messages between them, and then went to the FBI, where agents asked her to record her conversations with him. Herman-Walrond befriended Fogle and for the next four years surreptitiously recorded her conversations with him as part of an ongoing federal investigation. She recorded him making several remarks about having had sex with underage girls and asking her to install a webcam in her children's rooms so he could watch them; ultimately, the FBI could not pursue a case against Fogle using the recordings because they needed more substantive evidence against him.{{cite news |url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-helped-subway-spokesman-jared-fogle/story?id=33197355 |work=ABC News |title=The Woman Who Said She Helped Take Down Ex-Subway Spokesman Jared Fogle |last=Perez |first=Alex |date=August 20, 2015 |access-date=May 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160531052231/http://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-helped-subway-spokesman-jared-fogle/story?id=33197355|archive-date=May 31, 2016|url-status=live}}{{cite news |title=FBI informant shares lurid details of Jared Fogle recordings |first=Vladimir |last=Duthiers |date=October 29, 2015 |work=CBS This Morning |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-informant-shares-lurid-details-of-jared-fogle-secret-recordings/ |access-date=May 16, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160512053824/http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-informant-shares-lurid-details-of-jared-fogle-secret-recordings/ |archive-date=May 12, 2016 |url-status=live}}{{cite news |first=Max |last=Winitz |url=http://www.mysuncoast.com/news/local/why-did-the-jared-fogle-investigation-take-so-long/article_70e4e29e-4840-11e5-9e56-4bc894c2f0d2.html |work=MySuncoast |title=Why did the Jared Fogle investigation take so long?|date=August 21, 2015 |access-date=July 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160724215331/http://www.mysuncoast.com/news/local/why-did-the-jared-fogle-investigation-take-so-long/article_70e4e29e-4840-11e5-9e56-4bc894c2f0d2.html |archive-date=July 24, 2016 |url-status=dead}}

In these messages, Fogle talked about sexually abusing children ranging in age from 9 to 16, told her to sell herself for sex on Craigslist, and asked her to arrange for him to have sex with her 16-year-old cousin.{{cite news|first=Kaja|last=Whitehouse|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2015/08/28/subway-executives-knew-jared-fogel-pedophile-children-former-franchisee/71297640/|title=Franchisee: Subway execs knew about Jared Fogle's interest in children|newspaper=USA Today|date=August 28, 2015|access-date=December 30, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171231163935/https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2015/08/28/subway-executives-knew-jared-fogel-pedophile-children-former-franchisee/71297640/|archive-date=December 31, 2017|url-status=live}}{{cite news|first=Kate|last=Briquelet|url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/jared-fogles-ex-wife-says-subway-knew-its-spokesman-was-a-pedophile|title=Jared Fogle's Ex-Wife Says Subway Knew Its Spokesman Was a Pedophile|newspaper=The Daily Beast|date=October 24, 2016|access-date=December 30, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171115041357/https://www.thedailybeast.com/jared-fogles-ex-wife-says-subway-knew-its-spokesman-was-a-pedophile|archive-date=November 15, 2017|url-status=live}} Mills's lawyer said that she had alerted Subway's corporate management about the text messages, but that they had responded that because Fogle was not a Subway employee, there was no violation.

On January 29, 2016, Fogle was beaten by fellow inmate Steven Nigg. As a result, he received a bloody nose, scratches to his neck, and swelling around his face, while his attacker sustained cuts and bruises in return. Nigg's brother James stated that, afterwards, Nigg felt no regret and would've done it again if given the chance.{{cite web|url=https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/he-couldnt-help-it-ex-subway-pitchman-jared-fogle-beaten-by-inmate/60060/|title=Family of Inmate Who Allegedly Attacked Jared Fogle Says ‘He Would Do it Again'|date=March 17, 2016|work=nbcchicago.com|access-date=April 4, 2025}}

On November 8, 2017, Judge Pratt dismissed a motion filed by Fogle, which had been prepared for him by a fellow inmate, in which he tried to claim that the court in 2015 did not have jurisdiction to convict Fogle because he is a self-declared "sovereign citizen".{{cite court |litigants=United States v.

On October 24, 2016, Kathleen McLaughlin's lawyers filed suit against Subway in Indiana.{{cite web |url=https://www.scribd.com/document/328745491/Fogle-Ex-Wife-Lawsuit |title=Fogle Ex Wife Lawsuit |last=Cleary |first=Tom |publisher=scribd.com |date=October 24, 2016 |access-date=June 22, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170605160819/https://www.scribd.com/document/328745491/Fogle-Ex-Wife-Lawsuit |archive-date=June 5, 2017 |url-status=live }}{{cite web|first=Tom|last=Cleary|url=http://heavy.com/news/2016/10/kathleen-katie-mclaughlin-jared-fogle-ex-wife-lawsuit-sues-subway-document-knew-sexual-abuse-child/|title=Jared Fogle's Ex-Wife Katie McLaughlin Sues Subway [DOCUMENT]|website=Heavy.com|publisher=Heavy Inc.|location=New York City|date=October 24, 2016|access-date=June 22, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171011130822/http://heavy.com/news/2016/10/kathleen-katie-mclaughlin-jared-fogle-ex-wife-lawsuit-sues-subway-document-knew-sexual-abuse-child/|archive-date=October 11, 2017|url-status=live}} The suit alleges that Subway violated McLaughlin's privacy and property rights, and caused personal injury to McLaughlin by covering up at least three instances of Fogle's illegal behavior that were reported to senior management, including the allegation that Subway's senior vice president of marketing hushed up a 2004 incident in which Fogle propositioned a young girl at a promotional event at a Subway franchise in Las Vegas. The lawsuit was dismissed in October 2017, with the judge writing that the court lacked jurisdiction, since their principal business operations were outside Indiana.{{cite news|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/business/judge-tosses-lawsuit-by-jared-fogles-ex-wife-against-subway/|title=Judge tosses lawsuit by Jared Fogle's ex-wife against Subway|newspaper=Seattle Times|agency=Associated Press|publisher=The Seattle Times Company|location=Seattle, Washington|date=October 4, 2017|access-date=October 9, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181010060851/https://www.seattletimes.com/business/judge-tosses-lawsuit-by-jared-fogles-ex-wife-against-subway/|archive-date=October 10, 2018|url-status=live}}

=Potential for other criminal charges=

Fogle potentially faced state charges in New York related to Victims 13 and 14. Potential state crimes included statutory rape and/or trafficking persons for sexual reasons. Fogle's federal plea deal has no standing regarding state charges, so there would have been no double jeopardy had New York opted to pursue a criminal case. However, New York defense attorney and former assistant district attorney Matthew R. Smalls stated that New York State was unlikely to bring state charges since it would have had to mount a new investigation and get testimony from victims. Smalls believed that a prosecutor in New York "would really be tone deaf" to ask Victims 13 and 14 to tell their stories again, let alone testify before another grand jury. Abby Phillip of The Washington Post stated "As a legal matter, Fogle may never be charged with rape – or legally labeled with having committed that crime."{{cite web|first=Abby|last=Phillip|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/25/jared-fogle-admitted-to-sex-crimes-against-minors-why-wasnt-he-charged-with-rape/|title=Jared Fogle admitted to sex crimes against minors.
