BREAKING: Subway pitchman Jared Fogle’s home raided in child porn investigation!
Subway pitchman Jared Fogle’s Indiana house was raided Tuesday amid a child porn investigation. Fogle's wife and kids left the home before the 6:30 a.m. raid. Federal and state agents removed electronics from the property and took them to a task force van parked in front of the home.
The 37-year-old was detained outside of his Zionsville house as a special taskforce removed electronics from the property and took them to a mobile forensics van parked in his driveway, WTHR reported.
Fogle's wife and kids left just before the 6:30 a.m. raid, local media reported.
He is not under arrest at this time. In April, the executive director of the Jared Foundation — a nonprofit founded by Fogle to battle childhood obesity — was arrested on child pornography chargesafter investigators found more than 400 illicit videos in his Indianapolis home. Russell Taylor recorded all of the graphic footage was inside his home or his former homes between 2012 and 2015, police said.
The 43-year-oldattempted suicide in May while he was still in jail. The foundation cut ties with Taylor after his arrest. It’s not clear if the Tuesday raid at Fogle’s Zionsville home is related to Taylor. He started his Subway diet in 1998, when he was a 425-pound junior at Indiana University in Bloomington.
Fogle shed 94 pounds in three months by eating one 6-inch turkey sub and one full-length veggie sub every day. Within a year, he was down to just 200 pounds — less than half of his starting weight.
The sub chain took note and quickly incorporated Fogle into his advertising campaign.
He still works with Subway today. Subway did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
This is a developing story. And will update accordingly
