Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle claims he was tricked by federal prosecutors into pleading guilty to child pornography charges.
Those charges led to a jury conviction, and now Fogle remains housed at the Federal Correctional Institution Englewood in Colorado. He was sentenced to 15 years and 8 months. His earliest possible release date is set for March 24, 2029.
Fogle rose to fame after claiming he lost more than 200 lbs. with a diet of Subway sandwiches. He appeared in ads for the franchise for over a decade.
In 2015, Fogle was fired after he admitted to having sex with at least two minors and to obtaining child pornography of at least 12 others.
Now, we learn that one of Fogle’s prison jobs is making sandwiches in the prison café.

The family of a girl who accused Fogle in a child pornography case that led to the former Subway pitchman’s imprisonment is dropping a lawsuit against him. A motion filed Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016, in federal court in Indianapolis requested that the lawsuit be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought back to court.
