INDIANAPOLIS — Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle is expected to plead guilty to allegations that he paid for sex acts with minors and received child pornography. 

Authorities reviewed thousands of texts and emails as a part of the investigation, determining that Fogle used his wealth and status to exploit children. Prosecutors allege that Fogle knew that child pornography had been secretly produced by the former director of his charitable foundation. The foundation sought to raise awareness about childhood obesity, and arranged for Fogle to visit schools to urge children to adopt healthy eating and exercise habits.

Fogle is expected to enter a formal plea at a later date to one count each of travelling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and distribution and receipt of child pornography. He is also expected to pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14 minor victims, who will each receive $100,000. Fogle will be required to register as a sex offender and undergo treatment.
