FOGLE, Defendant-Appellant] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161019155517/https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2805441/USA-answer-to-Fogle-sentence-appeal.pdf |date=October 19, 2016 }}." p. 2 (PDF p. 7/42).</ref> ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|f|oʊ|g|əl}}; born August 23, 1977) is an American former [[Spokesperson|spokesman]] for [[Subway (restaurant)|Subway]] restaurants and convicted sex offender. Fogle appeared in Subway's [[advertising campaign]]s from 2000 to 2015 until an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] investigation led to him being convicted of [[child sex tourism]] and possessing [[child pornography]].

While a student at [[Indiana University]], Fogle lost {{convert|245|lb|abbr=on}} between 1998 and 1999. Having frequented a [[Subway (restaurant)|Subway restaurant]] as part of his diet plan, he was hired to help advertise the company the following year. Fogle's popularity led to his appearances in over 300 commercials during his 15 years with Subway, alongside other media appearances.

Allegations of Fogle having inappropriate relations with minors began in 2007 but did not gain traction until 2015 when the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] (FBI) uncovered that he received child pornography from an associate. Pleading guilty to the child sex tourism and child pornography charges the same year, Fogle was sentenced to 15 years and eight months in [[federal prison]]. As of 2025, he remains incarcerated at the [[Federal Correctional Institution, Englewood]].

Fogle first came to media attention in April 1999, via an article published in the ''[[Indiana Daily Student]]'' written by a former dormmate about Fogle losing {{convert|245|lb|abbr=on}} by exercising and eating a diet of Subway sandwiches.<ref name="latimes.com">{{cite news|first=Christina|last=Littlefield|url=https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-jared-fogle-subway-20150707-htmlstory.html|title=The Subway guy: How Jared Fogle went from overweight college student to cultural icon|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=July 7, 2015|access-date=December 2, 2019|archive-date=September 26, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926203106/https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-jared-fogle-subway-20150707-htmlstory.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="chip">{{cite book| first1= Chip| last1= Heath| first2= Dan|last2=Heath|title=Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die|title-link=Made to Stick| date=December 18, 2006|pages=[https://archive.org/details/madetostickwhyso00heat/page/218 218–221]| publisher=[[Random House]]| location= New York City|isbn=978-1-4000-6428-1}}</ref> Subsequently, Fogle was featured in a ''[[Men's Health]]'' magazine article, "Stupid Diets&nbsp;... that Work!"<ref>{{cite magazine| first= Duane|last=Swierczynski|url=http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/2333652/stupid-diets-that-work|title=Stupid Diets&nbsp;...

Fogle changed his eating habits upon the switch to eating at Subway, replacing his 10,000-calorie-per-day food consumption with one small turkey sub and one large veggie sub, along with some baked potato chips and diet soda, totaling about 2,000 calories.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.medicinenet.com/subway_diet/definition.htm | title=Medical Definition of Subway diet | access-date=September 22, 2021 | archive-date=March 27, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220327020207/https://www.medicinenet.com/subway_diet/definition.htm | url-status=live }}</ref> A [[Chicago]]-area Subway [[Franchising|franchisee]] took Fogle's story to Subway's Chicago-based advertising agency.<ref name="chip" />

As a test, the company ran a regional television advertising campaign. The first ad aired on January 1, 2000, introducing Fogle and his story with the following disclaimer: "The Subway diet, combined with a lot of walking, worked for Jared. We're not saying this is for everyone. You should check with your doctor before starting any diet program. But it worked for Jared."<ref>{{cite news| first= Bill| last= Mardis| url= http://somerset-kentucky.com/local/x681549706/-Subway-Guy-Visits-Somerset| title= 'Subway Guy' Visits Somerset| newspaper= [[Commonwealth Journal]]| date= September 3, 2008| access-date= September 20, 2013| archive-date= September 21, 2013| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130921060224/http://somerset-kentucky.com/local/x681549706/-Subway-Guy-Visits-Somerset| url-status= live}}</ref>

The introductory test ads were a success, so Fogle subsequently appeared in more television commercials as well as sponsored in-store appearances throughout the United States. Fogle would give talks on the benefits of fitness and healthy eating,<ref name=CBS>{{cite web| url= https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-subway-diet-02-03-2004/|title=The Subway Diet: Jared Fogle Becomes A Celebrity By Losing Weight |work=[[48 Hours (TV series)|48 Hours]]| date= September 3, 2004|access-date=February 18, 2008|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080112233202/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/02/48hours/main603484.shtml|archive-date=January 12, 2008|url-status=live}}</ref> and later came to be known as The Subway Guy.<ref name="latimes.com"/><ref name="WashPost"/>

In 2002, Fogle was the subject of an episode of ''[[South Park]]'' titled "[[Jared Has Aides]]".<ref>{{cite web| first=Kevin|last=Clemons|title=dOc DVD Review: South Park: The Complete Sixth Season (2002) |url= http://www.digitallyobsessed.com/displaylegacy.php?ID=7957| website= digitallyobsessed.com |date=October 10, 2005|access-date=September 17, 2013| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130910140605/http://digitallyobsessed.com/displaylegacy.php?ID=7957|archive-date= September 10, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> Fogle has stated that while the episode had "typical[ly] tasteless humor", the fact that an entire episode was devoted to him was "very flattering".

In February 2008, a Subway campaign called "Tour de Pants" celebrated Fogle maintaining his weight loss for a decade.  As part of the campaign, Fogle made an announcement that he would retire his pair of 62-inch (157-centimeter) pants to a museum at the end of the advertising tour.<ref name=AdAge>{{cite magazine|first=Emily|last=Bryson York|url=http://adage.com/article?article_id=125142|title=Subway Can't Stop Jonesing for Jared|magazine=[[Advertising Age]]|date=February 18, 2008| access-date=February 18, 2008}}</ref> Beginning in 2008, Fogle's presence in Subway advertisements decreased amid the company's emphasis on its "[[Subway $5 footlong promotion|$5 Footlong]]" promotion.<ref>{{cite web| first= Matthew| last= Boyle| url= https://www.yahoo.com/news/pf_article_108119.html| title= The Accidental Hero| website= [[Yahoo!]] | date= November 10, 2009| access-date= July 12, 2017}}{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Fogle made appearances in the ''[[Sharknado]]'' film series, beginning with ''[[Sharknado 2: The Second One]]''.

== Legal history ==

=== Child pornography investigation and arrest ===
In 2007, Fogle came to the attention of state and federal law enforcement agencies after [[Sarasota, Florida]] journalist and radio host Rochelle Herman-Walrond told the [[Sarasota Police Department]] he made lewd comments to her about [[middle school]]-age girls; she had met Fogle at a local middle school for a health event, as he was in Sarasota for his speaking tour. She made recordings of Fogle's remarks and saved text messages between them, and then went to the FBI, where agents asked her to record her conversations with him. Herman-Walrond befriended Fogle and for the next four years surreptitiously recorded her conversations with him as part of an ongoing federal investigation. She recorded him making several remarks about having had sex with underage girls and asking her to install a [[webcam]] in her children's rooms so he could watch them; ultimately, the FBI could not pursue a case against Fogle using the recordings because they needed more substantive evidence against him.<ref name="abcnews">{{cite news |url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-helped-subway-spokesman-jared-fogle/story?id=33197355 |work=[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]] |title=The Woman Who Said She Helped Take Down Ex-Subway Spokesman Jared Fogle |last=Perez |first=Alex |date=August 20, 2015 |access-date=May 15, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160531052231/http://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-helped-subway-spokesman-jared-fogle/story?id=33197355|archive-date=May 31, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=FBI informant shares lurid details of Jared Fogle recordings |first=Vladimir |last=Duthiers |date=October 29, 2015 |work=[[CBS This Morning]] |url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-informant-shares-lurid-details-of-jared-fogle-secret-recordings/ |access-date=May 16, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160512053824/http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-informant-shares-lurid-details-of-jared-fogle-secret-recordings/ |archive-date=May 12, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=Max |last=Winitz |url=http://www.mysuncoast.com/news/local/why-did-the-jared-fogle-investigation-take-so-long/article_70e4e29e-4840-11e5-9e56-4bc894c2f0d2.html |work=MySuncoast |title=Why did the Jared Fogle investigation take so long?|date=August 21, 2015 |access-date=July 13, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160724215331/http://www.mysuncoast.com/news/local/why-did-the-jared-fogle-investigation-take-so-long/article_70e4e29e-4840-11e5-9e56-4bc894c2f0d2.html |archive-date=July 24, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In a statement, Fogle apologized for his crimes, saying that he wanted a chance to become a "good, honest person" and "redeem [his] life" after being ensnared in a life of "deception, lies, and complete self-centeredness." According to John Bradford, a [[forensic psychiatry|forensic psychiatrist]] who testified for Fogle's defense team, Fogle suffered from a compulsive [[eating disorder]] for several years before losing weight, and replaced food with a sense of "[[hypersexuality]]", which included "mild" or "weak" [[pedophilia]].<ref name=NBC>{{cite news|first1=Erik|last1=Ortiz|first2=Nick|last2=Bogert|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jared-fogle-ex-subway-pitchman-pleads-guilty-child-porn-sex-n466256|title=Jared Fogle, Ex-Subway Pitchman, Gets 15 Years in Prison for Child Porn Charges|work=[[NBC News]]|date=November 19, 2015|access-date=July 13, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160718040328/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jared-fogle-ex-subway-pitchman-pleads-guilty-child-porn-sex-n466256|archive-date=July 18, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> That diagnosis was not accepted by experts in the psychiatry field and was criticized by Judge Pratt and on [[social media]].<ref>{{cite news |first=Jeremy |last=Berke |title=Ex-Subway pitchman Jared Fogle's 'diagnosis' doesn't show up in the bible of psychiatric disorders |url=http://www.businessinsider.com/jared-fogle-was-diagnosed-as-a-weak-pedophile-2015-11 |magazine=[[Business Insider]] |date=August 19, 2015 |access-date=August 14, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160817173151/http://www.businessinsider.com/jared-fogle-was-diagnosed-as-a-weak-pedophile-2015-11 |archive-date=August 17, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=Ryckaertmild>{{cite news |first=Vic |last=Ryckaert |title=Jared Fogle's 'mild pedophilia' diagnosis draws backlash |url=http://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2015/11/20/jared-fogles-mild-pedophilia-diagnosis-draws-backlash/76107846/ |newspaper=[[The Indianapolis Star]] |date=November 21, 2015 |access-date=August 14, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151231090017/http://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2015/11/20/jared-fogles-mild-pedophilia-diagnosis-draws-backlash/76107846/ |archive-date=December 31, 2015 |url-status=live}}</ref> The next day, Liberty Behavioral Health Corporation psychologist Adam Deming suggested that Bradford's use of the words "mild" and "weak" had meant to convey that Fogle's primary sexual attraction was to early teenagers, but that he had a lesser attraction to younger children.<ref name=Ryckaertmild />

On January 29, 2016, Fogle was beaten by fellow inmate Steven Nigg.

===Potential for other criminal charges===
Fogle potentially faced state charges in [[New York (state)|New York]] related to Victims 13 and 14. Potential state crimes included [[statutory rape]] and/or [[sex trafficking|trafficking persons for sexual reasons]]. Fogle's federal plea deal has no standing regarding state charges, so there would have been no [[double jeopardy]] had New York opted to pursue a criminal case. However, New York defense attorney and former assistant district attorney Matthew R. Smalls stated that New York State was unlikely to bring state charges since it would have had to mount a new investigation and get testimony from victims. Smalls believed that a prosecutor in New York "would really be tone deaf" to ask Victims 13 and 14 to tell their stories again, let alone testify before another grand jury. Abby Phillip of ''[[The Washington Post]]'' stated "As a legal matter, Fogle may never be charged with [[rape]] – or legally labeled with having committed that crime."<ref>{{cite web|first=Abby|last=Phillip|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/25/jared-fogle-admitted-to-sex-crimes-against-minors-why-wasnt-he-charged-with-rape/|title=Jared Fogle admitted to sex crimes against minors.
