Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle's time as a free man has come to a close. The disgraced spokesman was sentenced to 15 years, 8 months in prison for possession of child porn and for crossing state lines to have sex with a minor.
According to the Indianapolis Star, Fogle was handcuffed and taken into custody immediately after the hearing. He was led out of the courtroom as his family members hugged and cried.
At the sentencing, U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt said, "The level of perversion and lawlessness exhibited by Mr. Fogle is extreme." The judge also sentenced Fogle to a lifetime of supervision due to his issues.
According to Reuters, a forensic psychiatrist testified for the defense and aid that Fogle had a compulsive eating disorder that morphed into "hypersexuality" after his extreme Subway sandwich diet.
Fogle's Defense attorney Jeremy Margolis said, "He traded a horrible food addiction for a horrible sex addiction."
