The Sad Case of Jared Fogle
Jared Fogle’s rise to fame was almost as fast as his downfall. Jared came to notoriety for his “Subway diet” where he lost around 200 lbs that he credited from eating Subway sandwiches. In 2000, Jared’s story gained national attention and he became a spokesperson for Subway. Last month, Jared entered into a plea deal where he would plead guilty to possession of child pornography and having sex with underaged girls. The star had fallen. What should you do if you’re charged with possession of child pornography? First, possession of child pornography is a very serious charge. You’ll want to make sure that you have an experienced lawyer to defend you. A conviction can land you anywhere from 5 years in prison up to life imprisonment depending on the severity of the crime. There are currently (as of 2015) five federal laws that deal specifically with child pornography and exploitation of a minor. They are:- 18 U.S.C. § 2251 – Sexual Exploitation of Children (Production of child pornography)
- 18 U.S.C. §2251A – Selling and Buying of Children
- 18 U.S.C. §2252 – Certain activities relating to material involving the sexual exploitation of minors (Possession, distribution and receipt of child pornography)
- 18 U.S.C. §2252A – Certain activities relating to material constituting or containing child pornography
- 18 U.S.C. §2260 – Production of sexually explicit depictions of a minor for importation into the United States
