All of his Subway money will be gone.

And then when he gets out he'll be lucky if he can find a job cleaning toilets at a cheap motel.

So while very sleazy, that alone may technically not be illegal. However, the charges refer to multiple acts and trading child pornography -- oh my. I don't blame her for divorcing him.

After all if they hadn't said anything his wife wouldn't know.

Stupid, as I'm sure all would agree. The divorce is obviously his fault for being into child porn. I agree. So why is it the revelation rather than the transgression in the other case?

The plea agreement says that on "multiple occasions" between about 2011 and 2015 Fogle received child pornography from Russell C. Taylor, the former executive director of his charity, The Jared Foundation. The unidentified victims in the photos and videos were as young as "approximately six years of age."

Twelve identified victims were in photos and videos taken secretly at Taylor's home. All live in the Southern District of Indiana, which is central Indiana and south. In some cases, Fogle knew the victims' names and where they lived.

I'm thinking: "Why not let this guy off himself?"

He was handed a big fat plumb of a job - and he has wasted his life, and worse, he's participated in destroying the lives of others.

In my opinion - give him some rope...

If he had a father or brother, after the raid they should have had a talk with him. If they knew what was coming they should have taken him to a cabin in the woods then given him a bottle of scotch and a revolver.

That whole "children's charity as front for child victimization racket" makes it geometrically sleazier.

Bill Cosby, Jared Fogle... Who's the next fairly innocuous celebrity that will turn out to be a closet sexual predator? What secrets is the cast of Sweet Valley High keeping from us?
