Jared Foglewas a college student struggling with obesity when he started eating Subway sandwiches.
He ultimately lost 245 lbs. and became a popular spokesperson for Subway, attributing his weight loss to eating the chain’s sandwiches and incorporating walking into his daily routine.
“I was reborn in every sense of the word,” hesaid in a 1999 interviewwith the campus newspaper at Indiana University. “Subway helped save my life and start over. I can’t ever repay that.”
Fogle’s disturbing secret life became public after federal authorities raided his home and removed electronics, and then arrestedthe director of his charitable foundation, Russell Taylor.
Inside Taylor’s home authorities discovered a cache of more than 400 sexually explicit photos and videos that he produced. He shared some of those videos, as well commercially-made child porn he downloaded from the Internet, with Fogle.
