Former Subway Franchise Owner Says Fogle Told Her He Paid For Sex With 16-Year Old

A former Subway franchise owner involved in a relationship with the company's former spokesman Jared Fogle claims he told her he once paid to have sex with a 16-year old girl and had encouraged her to arrange a threesome between her and her underage cousin. The franchisee reportedly complained to Subway management about Fogle's inappropriate conduct and asked to remove advertising materials featuring him from her store but was told the company couldn't do anything since Fogle wasn't an employee of the company. Now an attorney for that former franchisee says federal agents have subpoenaed an affidavit containing the text messages she claimed Fogle exchanged with her concerning those matters according to Business Insider. Subway now claims it has no knowledge of the former franchisee's complaint.

The text messages Fogle exchanged with the woman between January 2008 and June 2008 allegedly encouraged her to advertise herself on Craigslist for sex with other men. Fogle told her she could make $500 per sex act and asked her if he could watch. The woman's attorney claims she became increasingly uncomfortable with Fogle as he pushed her to post on Craigslist and described other trysts to her. The attorney shared the text of messages in which Fogle encouraged the woman to arrange a tryst with her underage cousin and talked about paying for sex with a 16-year old girl.
"When can we find a time for me to talk to your cousin?" Fogle asks in a message dated May 1, 2008.
"Any more news with your cousin?" he asks the following day. "Tell me what u think about when u think of the three of us all together???"
Earlier, in April, according to the affidavit, Fogle asked the woman, "How young would you like?... Would you want to have an adventure like that?"
On June 19, the lawyer says that Fogle again asked the woman to advertise herself on Craigslist. She responds: "Is this the same website you found that 16 year old girl you that you f*****? ...I still can't believe you only paid $100 for her."
Fogle responds: "It was amazing!!!!"
She asks: "What part of her ad made you think she was selling sex?"
He says: "U will have to read them to see."
The woman eventually hired an attorney, who had her extract all of the text messages from her cell phone to determine if they violated her franchise contract with Subway. After the woman reported the exchanges to Subway management, she met with two levels of management to share the exchanges and requested she be allowed to remove all advertising related to Fogle from her store. Subway determined no violations had occurred following their investigation according to the woman's attorney. Subway told Business Insider it had no record of the woman's allegations.

Earlier this year, law enforcement arrested Russell Taylor, the man Fogle had hired to run a nonprofit foundation he established to help combat childhood obesity, following a raid of his home and filed numerous child pornography charges against him. As part of its ongoing investigation, authorities raided Fogle's Zionsville home last month. No charges have been filed against Fogle as a result of that raid.

kinda hard to believe that this has taken 7 years to come out.

Note the date....http://www.lifedynamics.com/Abortion_Information//Baby_Body_Parts/BabyParts2.cfm which is only to the point of how long it can take for things to "come out". 90% of WWII history is still classified and not available to scholars.....why?

I'm guessing his wife is going to be pissed. And somewhere, there's this 16 year old girl, whose father is probably going to sue Jared for a lot of money. And then there's the prosecutor...

Gary - correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 16 the age of consent for sex in Indiana? Anon 3:28 - The father could sue but he'll be told be any competent lawyer that it would be considered frivolous. Now if the three-way with the underage cousin did happen that is another story.

Gary R. Welsh said...

Yes, it is, Sir Hailstone. The penalty for prostitution is enhanced if to a Class B felony if the person is under the age of 18. It would appear to me the statute of limitations has run on a case that occurred in 2008.

Why? She's legal. You may not like it, but she's fully capable of giving consent.

Hookers will call themselves 16 in hopes of getting business.

For an extra $20, they'll say they're 13 and you're their first.

Without actual knowledge, sex talk doesn't prove a crime.

Any company that uses someone as a spokesperson should have a MORALS clause in the contract. Drunk driving? Gone. Potty mouth? (Jared has been heard by MANY) Done. Beat your girlfriend or wife? Ba-bye.

Its creepy for a man pushing 40 to pay a 16 year old for sex, even if 16 is the age of consent, and even if the statutes of limitations for prostitution have passed. I certainly expect this is the end of his career and his foundation. And given the pornographic interests of his best friend, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. The FBI is hot on his trail now. If there’s anything to hide they will find it. Don’t be surprised if Jared Fogle spends some quality time behind bars. Where I grew up if a 40 year old man came sniffing around a 16 year old girl he’d probably get bloodied and he might get shot at by her family. The guy is a perv and a stain on the community of Zionsville.

My thoughts are stay away from Craigslist, several people have been killed, robbed and assaulted from answering various ads though this site.
I've looked through the sex ads before, here is what I see, a setup for robbery, AIDS, multiple venereal diseases, extorting, Internet porn without consent, and death!
think smart with your brain, not your head!

STAY OFF CRAIGSLIST!

The Murican Dream: Getting rich off only being overweight rather than morbidly obese via junk food and banging 16 year olds. If he were also a crony downtown sports owner we'd have the trifecta and Mayor Marine would praise him

Age of consent in Indiana is 16. Regardless. "Motion to strike, your honor. Hearsay"

Meh. His lawyer is going to have fun with this and the stupid indiana sheeple will be footing the bill for another case of government incontinence.

LamLawIndy said...

The statute of limitations has long passed, but 16 is indeed the age of consent. No way that Fogle gets prosecuted, and any lawsuit would fall to a Motion to Dismiss due to the same reason unless the plaintiff/now-24-year-old "cousin" were to plead some sort of mental defect the prohibited giving valid consent. Even then, as a practical matter, one cannot assume that the now-24-year-old woman is even around or interested in pursuing a claim against Fogle.

I hardly think his lawyer is going to" have fun with this." Nor do I think Jared Fogle casually dismisses being "disassociated" from his Subway meal ticket or investigated by the FBI. Whether Indiana deems his conduct criminal is of little consequence given the larger picture. I am a proud Hoosier. And I cringe at the callous, indifferent people who fail to see the issue of an adult in Central Indiana paying a 16 year old for sex. In my circle, that would be the end of your social invitations. Period. We all have 16 year old daughters or granddaughters. Fogle's foundation is run by a child pornographer. Good God. Only silly fools think these revelations don't matter. I don't care if the age of consent is 16. These allegations are shocking. Jared Fogle's life here in Indiana, for all intents and purposes, is over. If the man walked into a cocktail party in Carmel, I promise you every single person would leave. What man, or woman, would want to be associated with all of that? His every move is probably still monitored by the FBI. If he did this thing, or has collaborated with this child pornographer, he should leave this place. And perhaps our criminal laws or statutes of limitations should be amended to make what Jared Fogle did a crime. I for one believe he should be in a cell right now begging a Judge for bail.

Subway tweeted this message Saturday: "The latest allegation about Jared Fogle, if true, is appalling. As previously stated, we have suspended our relationship with Jared."

These statements aren't hearsay. Statements against interest texted by Fogle are admissions. The Subway franchisee he was texting is going to make statements under oath to the FBI implicating Fogle. She will clear up any question about whether these were "jokes" or not.

This matter remains very serious for Fogle. If they can pin one act of child endangerment or pornography on him, the whole ball game changes.

Regarding this allegation that Jared Fogel said he’d pay $500 per encounter to this woman Subway franchisee that he was sleeping with to watch her have sex with other men; isn’t that solicitation of prostitution?

The woman says she went to Subway to complain, but she says the company did nothing.  That’s kind of a chickenshit response to a pretty serious, and probably true, allegation against their international spokesperson. When reached for comment, Subway said, “We have no record of this allegation,” according to Business Insider. But who believes that?

This as yet unnamed woman is giving testimony under oath to the FBI and the truth will be discovered. If Subway is hiding information about Jared, or protecting or shielding him, or deleting records of her disclosures of wrongdoing about Jared to them, in order to protect their own reputation and financial bottom line, this is pretty egregious.

Gary, this may be a little off topic, but 3 days after being critically stabbed by an ultra-orthodox man that went on a stabbing rampage at Jerusalem’s Gay Pride Parade, Shira Banki, a 16 year old girl, died of her wounds today. She was a straight high school girl from Jerusalem who attended Thursday’s parade to show solidarity with her LGBT friends. And since we’ve been talking about 16 year old girls, I have to wonder what kind of a man would chase a girl with a butcher knife and stab her to death just because he hated gay people, or wanted to make a political statement, or thought God wanted him to do it. To me, this girl, just like the 16 year old girl Jared Fogle paid a hundred dollars to have sex with, was little more than a child. Lest we forget, there are plenty of men out there willing to kill young girls, and prostitute young girls. And these kind of men make lots of excuses for their actions, and have lawyers that raise lots of defenses. But there is still evil in this world. And sometimes it comes from ultra religious men. And sometimes it comes from innocent looking, nationally known celebrities operating under the auspices of children’s charities.

Well said, Anon 10:40. I cannot for the life of me understand the people defending this man. The body of evidence is already pretty damning and I suspect there's more to come. He was a pornographer in college. He hired a pedo to run his charity. Based on the latest allegations, it would be shocking if he wasn't involved in something illegal. If he was, I hope they throw the book at him.
