INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (AP): Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has appeared in federal court in Indianapolis on charges of engaging in sex acts with minors and receiving child pornography.
Fogle sat with his hands clasped and quietly answered “no'' when the judge asked whether he had any questions about his rights.
He is expected to plead guilty on a later date to one count each of travelling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and distribution and receipt of child pornography. Prosecutors released documents earlier Wednesday outlining the details of the 37-year-old's plea deal.
Dennis Culloton, a spokesman for Fogle attorney Jeremy Margolis, said Fogle would appear with his attorneys outside of court but would not speak publicly.
U.S. Attorney Josh Minkler plans to discuss the case later Wednesday.
The wife of former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle says she's seeking a divorce and is solely focused on the wellbeing of her and her husband's two children.
Katie Fogle released a statement through her attorney Wednesday saying she is “extremely shocked and disappointed'' by the allegations that her husband engaged in sex acts with minors and traded in child pornography.
She says this would be her family's only public statement and requested privacy.
At around the time her statement was being released, Jared Fogle was appearing in an Indianapolis federal courtroom to hear the charges against him.
Prosecutors say he has agreed to plead guilty to one count each of travelling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and the distribution and receipt of child pornography.
