So genuinely curious about part of his charges. Weren't the prostitutes he slept with out of the country? I could have sworn I read that somewhere. If so how could he be charged under US law for acts he committed outside the country?

He was charged with other things: child pornography and traveling to pay for sex with minors. It's all n his wiki page. He was caught up in a sting operation.

Well... yeah.

Pedophiles are basically the lowest of the low in prison, they disgust even the hardest core gangsters and murderers. Not surprised he got attacked. I mean it shouldn't happen and it's a flaw in our prison system just like prison rape, but it's not surprising it happened. And it's usually a lifer like Nigg that does it. Guys with nothing else to lose tend not to be bound by things like "worrying about more years".
It's a very important thing that the hardest of gangsters and murderers take moral stances.
 
Prisons should be managed to a higher standard. Prison rapes/assaults/gangs should be zero tolerance. We need criminal justice reform on every level. That being said fuck Jared.

Should probably start with getting rid of mandatory minimum sentences. Zero tolerance doesn't really work if petty criminals get 20 plus year sentences. There is no incentive for them to behave.
 
So I take it that in the US (or in that particular state), sex offenders are not sent to special prisons with their kinds? Reprehensible.
 
Hmm I appreciate the backstory on Nigg--that name son--I didn't expect that, good journalism. Despite Jared being scum this is a flaw in the prison system, I wouldn't be surprised if much worse things have happened to him so far in prison. This should be corrected, not so Jared can have protection but so everyone can.

I won't lie a good part of me isn't wishing Jared a positive experience, but our prison system and population isn't suppose to serve out their version of justice.

Wow, not even the news cares that much about Jared anymore of they're going to devote most of that space to Nigg. And how the hell is he not in protective custody by now? Prisoners only have time and boredom; this is only going to get worse for him.

Oh well.

I think some of it is also just a way to make themselves feel better about themselves; you might be a criminal but you're not a kid-fucker, etc.

The US has a law called the 2003 PROTECT act which makes sexual tourism with a minor illegal, even if the country one is visiting doesn't consider the person a minor. Some countries the age of consent is 14, but a US citizen would still be charged even for activity that that country would deem ok.
 
Guess something like this was bound to happen. He's lucky he is still alive.

I Imagine being an ex TV spokes person has painted a large target on him (Also considering the nature of his crime)

Probably won't be the last time this happens either. Jared needs to hire some protection. He needs to find the Verne Schillinger in the prison and become Tobias Beecher.

How did Nigg get so much time for firearms? I am unversed in law.

guessing he was a convicted violent felon so he can't possess guns at all and he sold them illegally. i didn't read the article but it's possible they weren't handguns which probably didn't help.
 
Good! First of many beatings that are coming his way, and this sick fuck deserves every last one of them.

This is not the right way to think, no matter what awful shit he has done we live in a society in which we should not be okay with violence, he's going to serve a long time in Prison and probably will never get a job in his entire life as everyone will know who he is by doing a simple Google Search. He's already screwed for life.
 
I'm honestly surprised this was his first beating (at least that's been reported). Usually, any convict with a child porn or underage sex conviction to his name gets weeded out pretty quickly. I'm shocked he's in general pop.

That thought is powerless, though.

Really this is on the prison's fault for doing this. They should be taken to task for that. He should not be on gen pop.

But people enjoying schadenfrued is relative harmless.

I try my damnedest to think this way, but sometimes, it's really really tough to.

Wow I didn't know about the underage prostitutes, just the child pornography.

That guy Nigg seems to have gotten a raw deal.
 
Yeah they need to get Jared out of there as soon as possible, once the other inmates catch wind he got beat down by an old man it might be open season

I knew an Orange County cop who worked in prisons for a number of years. He says that pedophiles are no. 1 and famous people are no. 2 on prisoners shit list. Being both, its hard to imagine that this will be the last incident for Fogle.

I don't know law either but from what the article said, it seems like he inherited a shit-ton of guns and decided to sell them illegally. Which is real bad in the first place, but he was already a convicted criminal which must have compounded his situation.

And why would I want them?

Sorry but when it comes to people who travel to other countries with the sole purpose of raping children, yeah I happen to think this asshole deserves every last beating he's going to receive behind bars. No sympathy at all for this fucker.

The deal here is that we're supposed to be better than him. I get that reality is that he will get beaten up a lot during the time he serves(and maybe even die), but celebrating and being happy about it is something that doesn't sit well with me.

I hear ya. I definitely respect that mindset. Didn't want to come off like I was celebrating over it.

Well those of us who haven't raped children already are. Other than that, not sure I agree.

I fully understanding getting heated about stuff like this tbh, so don't worry about it.

Oh so if you're better than someone else that gives you the right to beat them up? Good to know.

The dude is going to be rotting in jail till 2029, that's his punishment and at some point he will come out of Prison, and we supposedly expect him to be part of society again, having to deal with violence for the next 14 years will probably make him someone even worse than he is now whenever that day comes.

A civilized society should never be okay with any kind of violence.

I also gotta mention that Nigg's story is crazy interesting.
