Fogle’s wife issued a separate statement saying she’s seeking a divorce.
At a future court appearance, Fogle is expected to change his plea to guilty. He will also have to register as a sex offender and have to go to therapy for sexual disorders. Additionally, Fogle was provided with content from other sources with victims who were “as young as approximately six years of age”.
During the period between 2011 and 2015, Jared received child pornography from Russel Taylor, the former executive director of the Jared Foundation, an organization committed to addressing childhood obesity.
At that time his weight had reached more than 400 pounds.
Fogle also “knows he has a medical problem” and has sought evaluation by a “world-class psychologist” to get well, Margolis said. He answered “no” when asked if he had any questions about his rights.

Fogle paid the 17-year-old to engage in sexual acts with him at the Plaza Hotel in November 2012. He appeared in court earlier Wednesday to hear the charges.
Fogle has not been arrested or charged in the case, but he will accept a plea deal, local news station WXIN reported.
Fogle’s troubles began last month when his home was raided by federal authorities in connection with a child porn investigation. “I appreciate respect for my family’s privacy during this hard time”. Lawyers for Fogle have agreed to ask for no less than five years.
“He knows that restitution can’t undo the damage that he’s done, but he will do what he can”, Margolis said.
The videos “included a lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of the relevant minor, while some material also included other sexually explicit conduct depending upon the minor involved”, the court papers said.
CNN has quoted U.S. Attorney John Minkler that Jared “has notified the court that he intends to plead guilty”.
Federal prosecutors say longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has agreed to plead guilty to engaging in sex acts with minors and receiving child pornography.
Wearing a black suit, Fogle answered only yes and no to questions posed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Dinsmore at a hearing Wednesday in Indianapolis.
As part of the deal, Fogle agreed to pay each of his victims $100,000 for a total of $1.4 million.
Prosecutors have said they won’t pursue a prison term of more than 12.5 years, but a judge will ultimately determine his sentence.
Fogle attorney Ron Elberger says he has no comment “at this time”.
