Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle is appealing his 15+ year prison sentence for conspiracy to receive child pornography and traveling to have sex with a minor.
The prosecution has now released a number of texts to show justification in Fogle’s sentencing. According to The Wrap, legal papers were filed in Indiana that reveal some of the text messages sent by Fogle.
According to prosecutors, “Fogle had a pattern: He found adult escorts through the Internet, developed relationships with them, and offered them finder’s fees to provide him with access to minors for commercial sex.”
Some of the text messages sent by Fogle have been posted below. Warning… the content of these messages may be disturbing.
“I’m horny again. Is your Asian friend available?”
When asked if he would also pay the adult escort: “I can pay you a little finder’s fee. I’ll pay you big for a 14- or 15-year old.”
In another communication, asked what kind of finder’s fee Fogle would provide, he responded: “Depends, on, if they can prove their age. If they can and you get me 16 or below, I’ll give you 400 at least.”
At another time, Fogle asked, “Do you have any access to any young girls? Like 15 or 16?”
When asked why, Fogle replied, “Cause it’s what I crave! … I would hook you up nicely if you did.”
In the papers filed on Monday, prosecutors insist that the 15.6 year sentencing is just, stating that Fogle “went to great lengths to engage in commercial sex acts with underage minors. He bought and offered plane tickets. reserved and paid for the hotel rooms, made arrangements for the commercial sex acts.”
