Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle was sentenced Thursday to more than 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges related to child pornography and sexual conduct involving minors.

Fogle faced two counts: traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, and distribution and receipt of child pornography.

“How do you plead to the charges?” U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt asked Fogle on Thursday at the federal courthouse in Indianapolis, according to the Indianapolis Star.

“Guilty,” Fogle replied.

Pratt sentenced him to 15 years and eight months behind bars, according to the Associated Press.

The news service reported that prosecutors had recommended a 12½-year sentence.

“The level of perversion and lawlessness exhibited by Mr. Fogle is extreme,” the judge said, according to the Star.

1. Good

Subway is still a no-go for me as far as I am concerned they should have been on trial as well. The woman who went undercover reported that some corp heads knew about the situation and still kept him as spokesperson.

6. I wonder how much business subway has lost

2. I saw one of his lawyers argue that

he was "hyper sexual" due to his sandwich diet and weight loss.

Reminds me of the old "Twinkie defense".

5. When the judge sentences you to 2½ more years than the prosecutor is asking for,

you know you've made a great impression. Creep.

7. 15 years...

is a life time for a pedofile. I'm sure his cellmates will see to that. I would be shocked if he lives past 6 months. And yes I can't resist in saying he's gonna get all the foot longs he'll ever want in lockup.

8. It should have been the full 50.
