Fogle’s plea deal hasn’t been decided yet, but Fogle will not ask for less than five years in prison, and the prosecutors will not ask for more than 12 1/2 years.
Additionally, he will have a minimum of 5 years of supervision after he’s released from prison.
This time includes going through sexual disorder treatment, polygraph exams and restrictions on contact with minors.
Fogle will also pay 14 victims $100,000 each for a total of $1.4 million, according to court records.
“(Jared) already volunteered to make restitution to those individuals that have been impacted by his behavior,” Fogle’s attorney Jeremy Margolis said outside the courthouse of Fogle’s initial hearing. “He knows that restitution can’t undo the damage that he’s done, but he will do all in his power to try to make it right.”
Between 2007 and June 23, 2015, Fogle used social networking sites for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity, according to court records.
Around Nov. 3, 2012, Fogle paid for sex acts with a female of 17 years while in New York City.
The next day, Fogle asked the same minor to find him another underage girl to have sex with.
He told her he would accept a 16-year-old girl, but stated “the younger the girl, the better,” according to court records.
Around Dec. 27, 2012, Fogle asked the 17-year-old again for a different minor to engage in sex acts with, and he said he would make it worth her while if she could find him one, according to court records.
He also asked her to send photos to him.
The minor sent Fogle three nude photos.
Fogle then sent her a text stating his approval.
According to court records, Fogle has also asked adult escorts for girls ages 14 and 15 for sex.
Additionally, between 2007 and 2013 Fogle texted adult women about his desires to engage in sex acts with minors and stated he had done so in the past.
Margolis said Fogle is already seeking appropriate treatment and expects jail time.
Fogle has been evaluated by a world-class psychologist, Margolis said.
“Jared also knows that he has a medical problem,” Margolis said. “He at some point will become once again a productive member of society.”
With alleged co-conspirator Russell Taylor, Fogle also obtained and distributed child pornography in the form of photos and videos from March 2011 to April 28, 2015.
Some of the photos and videos Fogle received were produced by Taylor.
The minors didn’t know they were being filmed with cameras hidden in clock radios in Taylor’s home.
The videos depicted the minors changing clothes, showering, bathing or engaging in other activities.
“A lot of them (the victims) didn’t know who he was, some of them did,” said Steven DeBrota, senior litigation counsel for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. “A lot of them didn’t know they had been victims.”
Fogle also possessed images of minors committing sex acts who were as young as 6 years old.
Fogle knew the photos were of minors, according to court documents.
In some cases, Fogle knew the victims depicted by name.
In a press conference the U.S. Attorney’s Office addressed Fogle’s fame and how it will not affect his plea bargain.
“We didn’t cut him any breaks, as the U.S. attorney said, this is the deal you get if you do this whether you’re rich or not,” DeBrota said.
