There is entirely too little information out there to actually have a handle on what's going on. It looks like the press only caught wind of this yesterday or very soon before that. It's going to take a while for even leaks to get out there. Jared may or may not have been involved, we don't know much of anything. Given the fact that this non-profit worked with children, it makes sense for them, even without extra evidence, to seize all those computers to investigate just how the organization was used to abuse these kids.
There could have been more people involved, including Jared, in the conspiracy to create CP, or it could have just been him, but it will take an investigation to find out.
This is pretty far away from last fall's press explosion over Cosby, because there had been quite a few lawsuits & allegations, and there were already over 20 victims who had publicly come forward with a consistent story. It was pretty obvious to me that Cosby was guilty, whereas I want more info on the Jared case before I make up my useless internet opinion.
Jared hasn't been charged with anything, so there's nothing for him to declare himself not guilty of. Given the possibility that his employee was using the non-profit's equipment to create, store and transmit the CP, on top of the fact that the employee probably gained access to the victims through the organization, I'd think that "My client hasn't been charged with anything and is being fully cooperative with the investigation" is the best approach. Acting defensive in this scenario just makes him look guilty.

I am in no way accusing Jared of anything, but it strikes me as strange that his attorney has stated that he is cooperating with the investigation, but has NOT stated that he is not guilty. That may be a by-product of the fact that this guy is not a criminal lawyer, but it's odd that he is not denying Fogle's guilt.
