Subways' spokesman Jared Fogle's home in Indiana was raided by the FBI yesterday morning. FBI agents took computers and other electronics after a warrant was issued. Some speculate it to be related to child pornography, however, Fogle was not charged nor arrested.
Fogle found fame after being discovered by Subways for his weight loss which he credited to eating solely their sandwiches. However, the company decided to suspend their relationship during the investigation.
Back in April of this year, the executive director of the Jared Foundation - a foundation Jared founded to help prevent child obesity-, Russell Taylor, 43 was arrested and is serving time for child exploitation, possession of child pornography and voyeurism. It is believed that the raid of Fogle's home may be related. No word has been given as to whether or not Fogle participated in the activities Taylor did. He is cooperating with authorities. Fogle had a cameo appearance in "Sharknado 2" which featured New York City.

Apparently Jared FOgle is indeed guilty of possessing and distributing child porn across state lines. He is taking a plea deal. Fogle's mansion was raided last month by the FBI. Many speculated that it had to do with a former employee of his charity who is in prision for related charges. Fogle's wife, Katie Fogle has immediately filed for divorce citing the safety of her own children. There has been no news as to who the victims are only that they were as young as 6 years of age. He will be paying $1.4 million dollars to victims which is $100,000 each for each child. 3,000 videos 47,000 images were found in his possession. He solicited child prostitutes in other states. The list goes on of charges.
