Prison Fresh . . .
. . . Jared Fogle is on the menu at his new home – in prison.
Background via the Washington Post: . . . Federal prosecutors in court documents charging former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle with possessing and distributing child pornography and “commercial sex acts with a minor” or paying to engage in sexual activity with someone who is younger than 18 years old.
Two of the victims, prosecutors said, were 16 when Fogle committed sex crimes against them. Fogle admitted to those charges and has agreed to plead guilty. But why wasn’t he charged with rape? . . . according to Tim Horty, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana, there is no applicable federal law. . . .
. . . Fogle admitted to engaging in the criminal activity in two swanky New York hotels: the Ritz Carlton and the Plaza. According to the federal documents, the girls were victims of criminal sex trafficking through a Web site that carries ads for “erotic services.”
New York law defines the age of consent as 17, and Fogle has admitted to victimizing both girls before — and after — they reached that age. (In other places, like Fogle’s home state of Indiana, the age of consent is sometimes defined as 16.)
The New York District Attorney’s Office declined to comment when asked whether state prosecutors would consider charges against Fogle . . . .
