       Jared Fogle was an overweight college student, who lost weight by eating subway sandwiches. Because of his weight loss the college newspaper wrote a story on him which then was taken up by national media. Subway then reached out to him and offered him to be in their TV commercial, Fogle then accepted and became a part of Subways advertisement. In June of 2015, agents raided his home and arrested him for having sex with a minor and possessing child pornography. It is reported that Jared is pleading guilty to these charges and is facing at least 5 years in prison, he also has agreed to pay $1.4 million in return to the 14 victims who will each receive $100,000.
