Ex-Subway pitchman in suit: Victim’s parents to blame
Fogle is now serving 15 and a half years in prison for his crimes against 14 victims, all of which he was ordered to pay $1 million each to. “This is about using wealth, status, and secrecy to illegally exploit children”.
The disturbing case involving Jared Fogle just took an unexpected turn.
Fogle rose to fame as a pitchman for Subway after he lost 200lbs, in part by eating the restaurant’s sandwiches. The footage was then sent to Fogle. There were also videos of the same kids in a bedroom, also naked.
Fogle’s friend Russell Taylor, sentenced to 27 years in prison, was found guilty of secretly recording their daughter and others changing clothes and bathing at his house over more than four years and distributing the images to the former spokesman.
The convicted paedophile said in a complaint the parents were responsible for his victim’s substance abuse and suicidal thoughts and wants them added as defendants in the lawsuit filed against him. In it, he claims it was they, not he, who inflicted the damage on the child. He filmed underage girls, including the subject of the lawsuit, dressing and undressing, showering and engaging in other activities in which there was an expectation of privacy.
Fogle’s lawyers argue “Jane Doe’s” parents should be liable for some or all of any damages levied against Fogle due to their “outrageous and reckless conduct” which inflicted “personal injuries, emotional distress and psychological injury” on “Jane Doe”. The inmate said Fogle paraded around the joint like a “celebrity”. He started to make frequent TV appearances in 2000 after he pledged to a diet of Subway and exercise. Reportedly, Jared Fogle suffered a pretty decent beating in that incident, which was widely reported across news and gossip websites as well as by the mainstream media.
But now he has delivered a fresh set of papers to a federal court in Indianapolis-with an extraordinary series of allegations leveled at her parents. Taylor placed a camera in a clock radio to record children dressing and undressing. In some cases, Fogle knew their names, addresses and socialized with them at events in Indiana.
