INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The latest on the sentencing of former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle for sex crimes (all times local):
9:10 a.m.
A hearing to decide how long former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle will spend in prison on child porn and sex crime charges has started.
The 38-year-old Fogle sat at the defense table with his attorneys before the hearing began Thursday morning in the Indianapolis federal courthouse. He didn’t say anything to reporters when he arrived at the courthouse wearing a dark suit and red tie.
Fogle could give a statement to U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt before she announces his sentence. He agreed in August to plead to one count each of travelling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and distribution and receipt of child pornography.
Prosecutors want a 12 ½-year sentence, while Fogle’s attorneys have asked for five years.
