Looks like his charity's manager was.

But why are they searching his house two months later? The FBI has now said they're doing a criminal investigation...

Did his charity manager admit Jared's involvement? Did he stash stuff at Jared's house? Did he commit crimes there? Did he falsely accuse Jared?

The interesting thing will be to see how Subway responds. Jared's picture is in every Subway on the planet. It's on the damn menus. Do they respond immediately or do they wait until charges are filed?

It took Trump a few hours to be fired from NBC for making a dumb generalization. Let's see how quickly being investigated for child porn gets someone fired.

Maybe. Could be any of them. If he hid some files, I could see that, especially without J knowing.

Trump's mouth got him fired. The Dugger kid had some police reports and incidents on record. So far, Jared's just known a dude into kiddie porn.

Roman Polanski raped an underage girl and got a standing ovation at the Oscars.

I'm just pointing out that watching how these "scandals" unfold is interesting.

I don't think Jared is part of the protected class. If it turns out he campaigned for Obama and supports transgendered sushi chefs, he'll be fine. Otherwise maybe not.

I was almost getting halfway to sympathy for this dude, then I got reminded of this:
Subway's ad agency originally discovered Jared when he was featured in a 1999 Men's Health story called "Stupid Diets That Work," after he lost 245 pounds eating nothing but two meals a day at Subway for a year.

He could've eaten two meals at a day at the local Applebee's/Houlihan's/TGIFriday's if he watched his fucking calories.

I'm gonna wait for the trial. There was a guy here in town that I had mutual friends with. He was arrested for (allegedly) being in a porn video with a minor. He got a ton of shit thrown at him on facebook. Turns out: whoops, not him.

Reading now that it's not him but someone that worked for his fatty fat kids foundation that was into the kiddy porn. So far seems to be an ongoing extension of that investigation and not directed at Jared.

The Feds should have done a MUCH better job of advertising that before they destroyed his livelihood.

It's entirely likely they have nothing on him at all and this was all something they threatened to do if he didn't tell them what they wanted to know about the other guy. It wouldn't matter if he had anything to tell or not, they'd still follow through and make everyone think Jared was into kiddie porn as well. That's how they operate.

Which, of course, is perfectly in line with procedure so there was no wrong-doing.

By the book, man. Of course, when that becomes synonymous with "being a dick," you should take a long, hard look at your career choice.

The greedy whores come out.
She claimed the middle school remark was followed by even more disgusting comments, but refused to go into specifics.

Perhaps the FBI is investigating him?

It mostly talks about the woman referenced in Malcolm's link, but then goes into them having her wear a wire.

What I find interesting is that she's making these claims and his lawyer is denying them, yet someone it's being printed as news (which equals fact in people's minds). How is that ethical? Until the feds charge him, it's he said, she said and all that's being done is destroying a man who may or may not be innocent.

Looks like the raid on Jared's home was about him.

(Your link is broken Malcolm.)

The FBI has subpoenaed an affidavit containing alleged texts between former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle and a former female Subway franchisee in which Fogle says he paid for sex with a 16-year-old girl, according to the former franchisee’s attorney.


Seems pretty damning, but...

The age of consent in Indiana, where Fogle is resides, is 16 years old.


Not sure where the franchisee lives.

That does cloud things though. If he had sex with a 16 year old in Indiana, then he really didn't break any laws, and BY LAW the only thing "gross" about it is people's perception that it's gross.

Based on his texts implying about going younger, it'd suck if he got off on a technicality. Is this a guy who wants to do worse, but stops himself at his state's age limit so he can't be sent to jail?

In other news, Subway isn't coming out of this looking great:

The woman reported the communications to Subway, her attorney says. Subway determined that no violations occurred, however, due to the fact that Fogle was not an employee of Subway — even though he was hired to do marketing for the brand.

The woman also contacted Subway’s corporate office regarding the issue and she requested that Subway allow her to remove all marketing related to Fogle from her store, according to the lawyer.

She met with two levels of management, shared the messages with them, “and specifically requested not to have his imagery and merchandising related to him in her stores,” the lawyer said. “She also specifically warned them that he should not be interacting with young people.”

Subway continued to use Fogle in national advertising campaigns until the FBI raid on his home earlier this month.

When reached for comment, Subway said, “We have no record of this allegation.”
