Jared Fogle's Appeal Rejected For Mentioning President Trump

Zionsville native and child pornographer Jared Fogle's attempt at name-dropping President Trump didn't go so well during a recent attempt to get released from federal prison. TMZ reports a federal judge is calling out the ex-Subway spokesman for a big error just one day after Fogle submitted documents that included Trump's name in a request for the prison's warden to release him. According to TMZ, the federal judge claims the strange choice of adding the president's name is a major error to the paperwork, as he added someone other than the warden to the document.

Fogle has 30 days to fix the paperwork and resubmit it.

Patch takes a look back at Fogle's child pornography investigation, case:

Fogle rose to fame in 1999 after losing over 200 pounds on a diet of Subway sandwiches. He became a national spokesperson for the sandwich franchise, appearing in its national ad campaigns, and started the Jared Foundation in 2004 to encourage children to exercise and eat healthy.

But in Nov. 2015 he was sentenced to more than a decade in prison just months after federal and state authorities raided his Zionsville house in July 2015 as part of a child pornography investigation. During that investigation electronics were reportedly taken from his home as the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force led the investigation. Fogle was reported detained but not under arrest as authorities analyze the seized electronics inside of a mobile forensics fan and his wife and children left the house during the raid.

This came just a few months after Russell Taylor, formally the director of Fogle's Jared Foundation, was arrested on child pornography and child exploitation charges in April 2015. The foundation immediately severed ties with Taylor.

Shortly after the investigation began Subway and Fogle suspended their relationship, before making that permanent.

In August 2015, Fogle agreed to plead guilty to distribution and receipt of child pornography and traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor. He made his admissions In a 27-page plea-related agreement he signed with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Indianapolis. Those document outlines a multi-year pattern of child-sex crimes that Fogle committed, involving 14 named victims from around the U.S. and many more whose identities are unknown as court papers say Fogle conspired with the director of his charity, Russell Taylor, to obtain child pornography and round up underage girls for sex.

Fogle was sentenced in November 2015 on one count of possession and distribution of child pornography and another for crossing state lines to pay for sex with minors, in accordance with his guilty plea agreement.

The victims received $100,000 each from a trust fund set up to compensate the 14 victims of crimes committed by Fogle.
