INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has agreed to plead guilty to allegations that he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography that he knew had been secretly produced by the former director of his charitable foundation, federal prosecutors said in court documents released Wednesday.
The agreement filed ahead of an expected court appearance by Fogle said he agrees to pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14 minor victims, who will each receive $100,000. Fogle will also be required to register as a sex offender and undergo treatment for sexual disorders.
The government has agreed not to seek a sentence of more than 12½ years in prison, and Fogle has agreed not to ask for less than five years, according to the documents, which say Fogle will plead guilty to one count of traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography.
Federal judges have wide discretion in sentencing. The child porn charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. The count involving sex with a minor is punishable by up to 30 years.
The Associated Press left messages seeking comment with Fogle attorney Ron Elberger.
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.
Federal prosecutors allege in the documents that the married father of two traveled to pay for sex acts, including with minors, from 2007 until as recently as June and that he repeatedly planned business trips to coincide with his sexual pursuits.
On Nov. 3, 2012, Fogle allegedly paid a 17-year-old girl who he had found online to engage in sex acts while he was staying at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, according to the papers. Several months later, he again paid her for sex acts while staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, according to the document, which says the girl told Fogle her age when they first met and that he knew she was a minor.
After the first meeting, the document said, Fogle texted the girl and offered to pay her a fee if she could find him another underage girl to pay for sex acts.
During these discussions, Fogle "stated that he would accept a 16-year-old girl, while stating that the younger the girl, the better," the document said.
Between 2011 and 2013, Fogle also repeatedly sent text messages to other escorts, "soliciting them to provide him with access to minors as young as 14 to 15 years," the document said, adding that he would only make such requests after engaging in sex acts with the escorts to "insure that they were not undercover police officers."
The document also alleged that Fogle on multiple occasions received sexually explicit images and videos produced by Russell Taylor, 43, who ran the charitable Jared Foundation. The foundation sought to raise awareness about childhood obesity and arranged for Fogle to visit schools and urge children to adopt healthy eating and exercise habits.
Two months before Fogle's home was raided, authorities arrested Taylor on seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography. Investigators said they discovered a cache of sexually explicit photos and videos Taylor allegedly produced by secretly filming minor children at his home.
After those charges were filed, Fogle issued a statement saying he was shocked by the allegations and was severing all ties with Taylor.
Prosecutors also allege that Fogle received from Taylor multiple images and videos, some of which were taken by a video camera hidden in a clock radio that filmed children changing clothes or bathing. Some were taken in buildings were Taylor lived.
The document says Fogle knew those depicted were minors, some as young as 13 or 14 years old, and in some cases knew the minors involved by name and had met them "during social events in Indiana."
In other cases, the document said, Taylor allegedly obtained sexually explicit images taken by others outside the U.S., including videos of children around age 6, and shared them with Fogle.
Taylor's attorney, Brad Banks, has said his client was briefly hospitalized after the allegations against him first surfaced. Sheriff's officials have said Taylor tried to take his own life in jail.
Banks said Tuesday that his client remains in federal custody and that prosecutors have until Sept. 3 to issue a grand jury indictment.
Fogle's history with Subway reaches back to his days at Indiana University. The college paper published a story on his weight loss that was then picked up by national media.
Soon after, Subway's advertising agency reached out to Fogle and asked if he wanted to be in a TV commercial. The ensuing ad campaign resonated in part because Fogle seemed like such a regular guy, which made weight loss seem simple and achievable.
In 2013, Subway celebrated the 15-year anniversary of Fogle's famous diet by featuring him in a Super Bowl ad and making him available to news organizations for interviews. At the time, Fogle said he still traveled regularly on behalf of Subway. He also said he had a Subway "black card" that let him eat at the chain for free.
The company, based in Milford, Connecticut, has declined to provide details on its financial arrangements with Fogle.

DJ Mustard is perhaps the hottest producer on the West Coast. He's the man behind countless hit records including Tyga's "Rack City," Young Jeezy's "R.I.P.," Kid Ink's "Main Chick" and many others.
The Los Angeles native has a problem with the hit records "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea and Jidenna's "Classic Man." Basically he considers them to be rip offs of his sound.
Mustard went on an epic Twitter rant in which he criticizes the songs and talks about possible legal action.
"The producers of fancy sued the niggas that did classic man. nigga suing for shit they ain't start," Mustard wrote. "Fancy was a rip off …. Classic mans a rip off …. Str8 up! The moral of the story is I haven't sued nobody YET. that's like a nigga stealing a bike and selling it back. I'm flattered I'm not mad I just couldn't see how the producers from fancy who's not from la or the bay was cool with. Sueing the next when they stole they shit 2. This is a west coast sound people from la all the way to the bay … I'm just one of the ones keeping it alive."
Does Mustard have a point? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Just like that
No more again
Ain`t no respect
Falling back in pain
Baby, What I can say
Maybe it`s too late
I`m on my way
And feeling just stayed
Pressure is so huge
I got no chance
But I`m ready to contribute
So dirty my hands
I tried to regret
My mind stands back
I will never forget
How much I withstand
I die making it perfect
Keep digging the land
The kernel is burnt
Another effort is dead
Let me work and protect
All I have a pure lack
I`m getting upset
Crying after making new mistake
My aim must understand
Every one calls me insane
I can lose the game
Because I have a main blame
But I follow my way
Where my ego takes place
No second orlast
Only on top with grace
Hook
I`ll be able to stand to handle it more
Than any men, I just give a damn
What you said that I can`t
I`m prepared with all my strength
Yes, I can I stand
I`ll be able to stand to fight like a man
I just give a damn
What you said that I can`t
I`m prepared with all my strength
Yes, I can I stand
And nobody can prevent
Prepared means handle
That`s not fare
If I give a sample
Where is my glare
That I can get it mental
Next upper level
I`ll be more dependent
I deserve a heaven
No more than any angel
One more spare
I get a super scandal
I`m ready to declare it`s bigger dental
And I Hate that my step is fatal
New day started I`m already angry
I`m kind-hearted, but it`s over my penalty
I`m so desperate, my dream is fantasy
It`s already dead and I can`t resurrect it
Getting outside bring no inspiration
Maybe I must hide, there`s no perfection
I`m so damn lazy my tired body blazing
Actting like a baby, sound too crazy
I hate it
Hook
Talking to myself through the mirror
Can I get a help, wanna be a hero
Yesterday I fell my result was zero
For tomorrow got a plan to be different figure
If you not able then squeeze the apple
Until it cracks like a broken panel
Take another example when it touches the battle
We deserve a heaven when it`s time to settle
I be stable like steel and hot metal
Hard to crackle not as screwed anckle
My skin getting hazel, I see how we rankle
It`s too much vandal, you never do it gentle
Just in general I want to grabble
Looking for a new navel
It`s way to be more faithful
And less hateful
Here`s my paddle which can be helpful

VladTV got a chance to catch up with Krayzie Bone, Flesh-N-Bone and Wi$h Bone to discuss how they got their start and their relationship with the legendary Eazy-E. Though the outspoken N.W.A. member succumbed to complications from AIDS well over 20 years ago, the members of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony continue to keep his legacy going, as he was the one to help with their mainstream success.
"We was a handful in the beginning," Krayzie Bone remembers. "One night everything is regular and then by the end of the week - the week it came out - Eazy [-E] was calling us telling us we had the number one song on the radio," he recalls when asked about the group's breakout track, "Thuggish Ruggish Bone." Eazy-E signed the Cleveland artists to Ruthless Records in 1993, and the crew was there for all the mishaps that went on around the time, including when N.W.A.'s former manager, Jerry Heller, was fired.
Backtracking to Eazy-E again, the members were asked if they believe he truly died from AIDS, to which they still remain skeptical about to this day - Wi$h Bone says it was "real sudden," especially since he still looked to be in tip-top shape until his demise. "Just rationally thinking, something had to go on," he concludes.

Amber Rose was unwittingly helping an unscrupulous escort service recruit women for prostitution.
According to TMZ, the company used an Instagram ad looking for models that said Amber would be the lead person picking them.
Once the models showed interest, the ruse was made even more believable when the women were told they would get to FaceTime with Amber. The company used old footage from Amber's Ustream to convince the women.
The ultimate goal was to lure the women into a prostitution ring.
Amber was never involved in any of this.
The LAPD got involved when one of the women went to them to report what she was being asked to do. The police are now investigating.

On February 14, 2013 South African track star Oscar Pistorius, 28, shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He told police and subsequently a jury that he mistook her for a burglar.
Reeva Steenkamp
On October 21, 2014, he was convicted of culpable homicide -- killing her unintentionally but unlawfully. He was sentenced to a maximum of five years and a concurrent three-year suspended prison sentence for a separate reckless endangerment conviction.
Now just 10 months later, the man known as "The Bladerunner" for the J-shaped carbon-fibre prosthetics he used to run on his amputated legs in the 2012 Summer Olympics, will be released to a halfway house on Friday, August 21, 2015.
The South African state legal team has filed an appeal, objecting to the original verdict.
The AFP News Agency interviewed South African citizens about Pistorius' pending release, all were dismayed at his light sentence.
"It comes across as justice not being served or that this is rich man's justice," said Charles Leonard, News editor of the Guardian and Mail. "That a rich person can get out much quicker, much easier."
"I don't think it's right. I think he deserves to stay in prison because what he did was murder," said high school student Cara Lethbridge. "The fact that he's being let loose so soon is not fair.
