Jared Fogle Sues Judges And Prosecutors For $57 Million

ZIONSVILLE, IN -- Less than a month after Zionsville native and child pornographer Jared Fogle had a prison appeal rejected by a federal judge, he's suing the prosecutors and judges who put him behind bars for $57 million. TMZ reports the ex-Subway spokesman claims federal prosecutors were in the wrong and tried to trick him when they charged him with conspiracy to receive pictures of minors, saying the $57 million is three times the damage to the career he lost when he was arrested back in 2015.

Fogle and two other inmates are filing this civil suit against prosecutors, but the other two are suing for up to $114 million.

This issue Fogle has with the team who sent him to prison has been the basis of several failed appeals, including one just last month where a judge claimed Fogle made the poor decision to add President Trump's name to documents in a request for the prison's warden to release him.

A look back at Fogle's child pornography case:

Fogle was sentenced in Nov. 2015 to more than a decade in prison just months after federal and state authorities raided his Zionsville house in July 2015 as part of a child pornography investigation. During that investigation, electronics were reportedly taken from his home as the Indiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force led the investigation.

In August 2015, Fogle agreed to plead guilty to distribution and receipt of child pornography and traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor. He made his admissions in a 27-page plea-related agreement he signed with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Indianapolis. Those document outlines a multi-year pattern of child-sex crimes that Fogle committed, involving 14 named victims from around the U.S. and many more whose identities are unknown as court papers say Fogle conspired with the director of his charity, Russell Taylor, to obtain child pornography and round up underage girls for sex.

Fogle was sentenced in November 2015 on one count of possession and distribution of child pornography and another for crossing state lines to pay for sex with minors, in accordance with his guilty plea agreement.

The victims received $100,000 each from a trust fund set up to compensate the 14 victims of crimes committed by Fogle.
