Former Subway Spokesman Jared Fogle Said Middle School Girls Are ‘Hot’
The embattled former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, who got his home raided for child pornography Tuesday morning, continues to be under fire, though the reasons for the raid have been divulged to WWSB's MySuncoast.
According to their source, a woman whose identity has not been released by the Florida media station, Fogle had frequently traveled the area of Suncoast in Florida over the past 10 years for various reasons, such as the American Heart Association Walk.
The woman, who was a former journalist herself, said that Fogle had made shocking comments to her on his visits that were deemed inappropriate. These comments included times when they visited middle schools in the area and Fogle allegedly told her that "middle school girls are hot."
"He said something to me when we were off camera and that really stuck with me. I thought to myself, 'did he really say that to me?'" the woman told WWSB.
There were several accusations the woman said she could have made of Fogle, but she did not want to go into them all. Instead she opted to simply say "They weren't jokes. They were very serious," speaking of Fogle's apparent intent for his comments.
Although she did not disclose anymore details about what he did say to her that was so disturbing, she did weigh in on the FBI operation at Fogle's Indianapolis home.
"The subject matter is similar to what the FBI found when they raided his home. It goes deeper than that," she told WWSB.
It was her tip to the FBI that got the ball rolling on the Tuesday raid at Fogle's home. They had her wear a wire when speaking with Fogle and even recorded her phone conversations with him. This was confirmed by federal authorities to Indianapolis-based TV station WXIN.
Fogle's attorney, Ron Elberger, released a statement to WXIN and responded to the woman's allegations of his client.
"It is an unrealistic fabrication with no credibility," Elberger said in a statement. "If you think about it, she says her original statement was more than ten years ago. If any part of it was true, it would have been raised. It never happened."
