Ex-Subway pitchman pleads guilty, to be sentenced on child sex charges

INDIANAPOLIS | BY SUSAN GUYETT

Former Subway sandwich chain pitchman Jared Fogle on Thursday pleaded guilty to child pornography and sex charges and is scheduled to be sentenced to prison.

Fogle, who became famous after losing weight on a diet that included sandwiches from the fast-food chain, agreed in August to a deal with prosecutors under which he would plead guilty to charges of child pornography and traveling for illicit paid sex with minors.

Under the agreement, Fogle formally pleaded on Thursday and is set to be sentenced by a U.S. district judge in Indianapolis.

Fogle agreed in court on Thursday to avoid pornography, get sexual disorder treatment and will be a registered sex offender.
