Before Jared Fogle’s 2015 conviction and sentencing, the FBI raided the home of the Subway spokesperson, capturing a number of documents and electronic devices. They were there because a whistleblower had informed the federal agency there was more to Fogel’s story: He was also a child sex predator, they alleged. Once arrested, Fogle pleaded guilty on all charges, and under a plea deal, he was sentenced to more than 15 years behind bars for having paid minors for sex, possession of child pornography, and traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor.

With the help of his one-time foundation head, Russell Taylor, Fogle reportedly gained access to some of his victims through Fogle’s charity, which was ostensibly there to help children, NPR reports. Taylor also reportedly attempted at least one instance of bestiality, according to People. Taylor pleaded guilty to 12 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and distribution of child pornography. Fogle reportedly confessed to at least 12 victims, and Taylor supplied evidence that helped secure Fogle’s conviction. For his crimes, Taylor was first given a 25-year prison sentence, the Indy Star elsewhere writes. By that time, Subway had cut all ties with its spokesperson.
