Jared Former Subway Spokesman Plead Guilty to Child Porn

Former Subway spokesman, Jared Fogle, plead guilty to possessing child pornography and traveling to pay for sex with minors. These charges came from a child porn investigation after the ex-head of his nonprofit was arrested for child porn. Federal agents seized his computer and DVDs from his house in Indiana. They also found a jump drive with over 400 videos of child porn. They also subpoenaed text messages from his phone.

A former friend of Jared remember that he used to comment on the attractiveness of young girls. She notified the FBI about the comments and she wore a wire while talking with Jared to help with their investigation.

The sandwich chain has dissolved their relationship with Jared. Jared's wife, Katie Fogle, is going to be filing for a divorce.

Jared is set to accept a plea deal that would include him paying each of the 14 minors involved $100,000 totaling $1.4 million. The money the victims get will help pay for counseling, treatment, support, and other assistance they will need. He will also have to register as a sex offender and get treated for a sexual disorder. He is also not allowed to have any unsupervised meetings or communications with any minor unless they are approved by his probation officer. The government said they will not seek a sentence greater than 12.5 years, and Jared's attorneys aren't asking for anything less than 5 years.
Comments from Allen:
You might say Jared has a minor legal problem. In fact, his problems are deeper than any subway, as he is being sandwiched between a kiddie porn charge on the one hand and an underage-sex problem on the other.  This combo will probably earn him 10-12 years worth of free meals, room and board, as he swears off the unripe tomatoes and tries out the rigorous Leavenworth Diet.

The federal system is brutal toward sex offenders.  Merely possessing kiddie porn images on the metadata of a computer's hard drive gets defendants in these cases about 7 1/2 years in the federal penitentiary, on the average, and that is for someone who just downloaded the stuff off the internet on a file-sharing site (Limewire is the site the FBI monitors most closely).  Jared's conduct is so far beyond what attorneys and judges generallly see in kiddie-porn cases that Jared may get a sentence greater than the 12 1/2 years sought by the federal prosecutors.  Do not expect Jared's attorney to get the 5 years they are requesting.

My take:  Jared is toast.

7 Things Lawyers Can't Tell Jurors

Image
 It is a trial lawyer's job to educate jurors, and tell them what they need to know in order to decide cases. Despite this, there are many things, true things, that lawyers are not allowed to tell jurors directly in statements to the jury or indirectly through testimony of their witnesses. Lawyers know these things, though, and I thought you might like to know some of things. #1. A lawyer can't tell the jurors anything that happened during settlement negotiations. He cannot let the jurors know, when asking them to make the defendant pay his client $100,000 that the defendant agreed to pay him $80,000 prior to the trial. The reason for this is that you want settlement negotiations to be very open. You don't want to damage a negotiation session because someone is afraid that what they say will get repeated to a jury if you don't strike a deal. #2 In Idaho, a lawyer can't tell the jurors that the defendant has insurance. In many other states, he can. Bec...

OBAMA APPOINTEE DENIES GIULIANI ABILITY TO DEFEND HIMSELF, RESULTS IN $148 MILLION JUDGMENT

Image
In the aftermath of the January 6, 2021 protests, Rudy Giuliani has been ordered to pay over $148 million in damages to two Georgia election workers named by the former New York mayor.  What has not been explained to the general public is that there was never any trial concerning whether Mr. Giuliani had actually slandered or libeled these two persons.   In the case of Giuliani, the two Georgia election workers listed as plaintiffs in the suit against Giuliani sued him for saying they engaged in what amounted to election fraud.  They are allowed to ask the defendant ex-mayor for documents relevant to their suit and to his defense. These women brought their case against Giuliani in a jurisdiction that is heavily populated with Democrats.  They could have sued in their home state, Georgia, but did not. They wanted a jury pool of anti-Trump democrats, so they sued in Washington, D.C. They managed to get an incredibly biased Barack Obama-appointed, anti-Trump judge....

Man Framed by Prosecutor Released After 29 Years in Prison Seeking Lawsuit

Image
19 year old, Charise Kamps, was found raped and strangled to death in her apartment in June 1980. Ralph Armstrong told the police that both of them were at the apartment alone doing cocaine before leaving to go see friends around 9:30 pm. Police said that they learned that Armstrong owed Kamp's boyfriend $400 and witnesses saw Armstrong handing Kamps money that night. However, the money was not found in the apartment, and Armstrong deposited $315 in his bank the next day.The defense argued that he got the money from his brother. One of the neighbors saw a lean, muscular man about 5 feet 5 inches tall with long, dark hair drive up to the apartment. Before the identification process, the police had the witness hypnotized. He was shown a photograph of Armstrong, and After being hypnotized, the witness changed the height of the man he saw. Later at a lineup to have the witness select the man he saw, he chose Armstrong. The other people in the lineup were police officers in wigs...
