I fear it didn't given the proximity to children. Hopefully I'm wrong about that and it was just CP, but the link is just too strong. Opportunity, motive, means.... That's three major check boxes.

well that went over your head.

He made a very fast deal and im sure he has a very good lawyer. Its possible it was a work computer and he didnt know about it. Given a good enough lawyer that may be a possibility.


Yea I am thinking there was not much tied to him directly outside work or others. That and with the other person caught making it Jared could just point at him and maybe walk. So plea it out and jared may have the at least register and the DA gets a notch in his belt.

Possible he just owned the computers the CP was on and his employee put them there, which would explain why he didn't wipe them. He didn't know.

However, I can't get past Subway firing him so quickly. How would they have known? It seems like Jared spilled the beans early to them, which means he had beans to spill, the "he didn't know" angle doesn't hold up in that situation.

No, I just don't think child rape is funny. I mean maybe in a vacuum "a priest and a choir boy...", but there's real people involved here.

Some folks are better at dealing with uncomfortable situations through humour. Doesn't make them a bad person.

Jared did what he always tried to do with his subway diet: get in a smaller pair of pants

Oh god yes. That's how I deal with a majority of uncomfortable issues.

I am fucking terrible at reading people but even I can tell when someone is being silly and when someone is truly being an asshole about this kind of subject.

*edit*Except NS1, he's pretty much an asshole all the time.

I read an article yesterday that he was planning to plea to conspiracy charges, not child porn.

Sauce?


I don't believe CNN is the bastion of truth when it comes to you know, actual Journalism, buuuuuuuut:

http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/18/us/subway-jared-fogle-charges/index.html

Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle is expected to plead guilty to charges related to possession of child pornography, two law enforcement officials told CNN on Tuesday.

I found an even BETTER (lol) source:

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/08/1...lea-deal-on-kiddie-porn-charges/?intcmp=hpbt4

Subway spokesman Jared Fogle is expected to plead guilty to charges of possession of child pornography, Indianapolis' Fox 59, reported Tuesday.

According to Fox59, sources said that the pitchman will accept a plea deal on Wednesday and that the U.S. attorney’s office will hold a press conference Wednesday afternoon to discuss the charges and plea deal.

Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle is expected to accept a plea agreement and plead guilty to one child pornography charge and one count of traveling to engage in illicit sexual contact with minors, according to court documents filed Wednesday morning.
Under the plea agreement, the government agrees to recommend less than 13 years in prison for Fogle.

His reputation is shot. It's going to be very difficult for him to find another job.

He should take his $15m and leave America. Maybe start a new identity in Europe or Israel.

damn he is fucked if they have evidence of all that.

and why are legal documents so poorly formatted and written?

He was actually having sex with minors? Wow.

He's even more screwed than I initially thought.

Why? He should pay the price, not run away! Fuck his rep, hes a sick bastard and needs to pay, why even advocate him fleeing?

Just heard on the news 14 underage girls, could be more. Plea deal is more than 5 years less than 13 years in prison. 100k settlement to each of the 14 to be held in a trust fund.
There was a mention of video evidence possible of him with a 12 year old that his coworker had.
Judge ordered Jarreds assets be secured for other victims.
