Jared's defense blames Subway sandwiches for his pedophilia- He still gets 15 years

The Subway sandwich chain’s ex-pitchman, Jared Fogle, was slammed with a ​​15-year, 8-month sentence on child porn charges Thursday, after a hearing in which his shrinks blamed his more than 200-pound weight loss for turning him “hyper-sexual.”

Jared Fogle, omnipresent spokesperson for Subway after losing 235 pounds eating turkey and vegetable sandwiches, quickly became the object of shocked ridicule when he was charged with receiving child pornography and traveling across state lines to participate in illicit paid sex with a minor. How could America’s favorite sandwich-lover be so villainously sick?

Because of the sandwiches, his defense reportedly argued in court. It was all because of the sandwiches.

In the trial, the Indianapolis Star reports that forensic psychiatrist John Bradford testified by phone that Fogle’s rapid weight loss is what led to his criminal desires:

“Once he lost weight, it seemed as though in a short time he had hyper-sexuality,” Bradford said. “There are brain disorders that can be associated with sexual drive.”

Bradford also downplayed the extent of Fogle’s pedophilia.

“He was mostly attracted to females who were teenagers, who were 14 to 17 years of age. His attraction was at the high end of that range.”

Bradford called Fogle’s pedophilia “mild pedophilia.”

“There’s no evidence I know that he molested a child... 16- or 17-year-olds are not pre-pubertal children.”

In cross-examination, prosecutor Steve DeBrota asked if “mild pedophilia” was a term used by other experts (Bradford said it wasn’t), and if it was just a term he invented to “provide scaling to the word pedophilia?” Bradford said it was.

From what I gathered following this Scandal ... that's bullshit. He was apparently trying to get the Subway woman who was secretly working with the FBI to put spy cams in the rooms of her 12 yo daughter and 13 son's rooms. She also says he told her he fucked a 9 yo. And apparently the child porn on his comp was of kids as young as 6.
The pornography viewed by Fogle included images of children as young as 6, the prosecution has said. Fogle, 38, is the father of two children under the age of 5. Prosecutors have said there is no evidence he abused his own kids.

Fogle possessed over 600 photos and videos of child porn, much of it provided for him by co-defendant Russell Taylor, former head of Fogle’s foundation. Taylor, who cooperated in the investigation and has yet to be sentenced, would tape his young family members and their friends for Fogle, prosecutors have said.

Prosecutors have requested that Fogle receive 12 1/2 years, while his defense has asked for five years. His official sentencing is scheduled for Thursday in Indianapolis.

In trial, Fogle reportedly sobbed as he recounted how he’d hurt his family and his wife, who would be a single mother should he go to prison.

“You gave your wife $7 million,” the judge interrupted, “so she’ll be okay.”

Even his own lawyers called Fogle “pathetic.” “Nobody wants to be Jared Fogle,” defense lawyer Andrew Richard DeVooght conceded.

Oh, of course, mild pedophilia brought on by weight loss from eating Subway. Makes total sense.

His character made a brief appearance recently. It was during an attack on a PC fraternity and he was trying to reach some Syrian children.

Seems totally plausible that rapid weight loss would give you a hankering for "hot" children.

NY Daily News said:
Fogle allegedly went on to suggest attending a children's birthday party to look for more potential victims and discussed flying "us clear across the world if we need to. To Thailand or wherever we want to go. If we're gonna try to get some young kids with us it would be a lot easier."

As their relationship grew, however, so did his trust and hopes to get personal with her and her children.

"Are there any of your kids' friends that you think are pretty hot?" he allegedly asked her.

Just read the guy had 5.6 terabytes of the stuff between him and his friend. That's like a mindblowing huge amount. That much regular porn would be insane.

Ok "he still gets 15 years" in the title made me laugh, I'm a terrible person.

Seriously though this man is scum for participating in such a terrible operation

Defense attorneys say crazy shit during sentencing. Anything to try to persuade the judge to give the lightest possible sentence. In this case 5 years was the mandatory minimum sentence so clearly it didn't work.

If you have to find a way to "scale down" your pedophilia so it doesn't sound like that, you know you fucked up.

They'll probably kill him off in some explosion with the other characters they've been focusing on this season. I sure hope so.

You know, he probably would've gotten the minimum 5, MAYBE 9-12 years if he just owned up to everything with no bullshit. But after having to hear that defense, yeah I'd tell him to get fucked, too. Because even IF what the judge did was wrong in any way (doubt it) and he did it to prove a point, no one is going to touch this case again. Shit's done.

Eating Subway™ sandwiches turns you into a pedophile. You don't want to be a pedophile do you?

Then come on down to Quizno's on 7th and Main! East Topeka's most popular Quizno's! We will see you there!

Motherfucker should have been eating pizza like an adult. Make you a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus... just like me.

Anyhoo, that's a pretty fucked up defense, a fucking whacked-out individual and glad the judge gave him 15+ instead of 12.5

Fuck this guy.

I'm baffled that Subway and Jimmy Johns blew up while Quizno's is basically dead.

Quizno's is a billion times better than both of them combined.

His defense is ridiculous. I ate Subway earlier and the most I got was a hand job from the wife while we both watched Jeopardy.
