Sentence upheld for former Subway pitchman Fogle in child porn case
A U.S. appeals court in Chicago on Thursday upheld former Subway sandwich pitchman Jared Fogle's 15-1/2-year prison sentence for child pornography.
Fogle, 38, who became famous after losing weight on a diet that included sandwiches from the fast-food chain, pleaded guilty on Nov. 19, 2015, to charges of child pornography and traveling for illicit paid sex with minors.
But he appealed his sentence by a U.S. District Court in Indiana of 188 months in federal prison, saying it was longer than indicated by sentencing guidelines and inappropriately imposed.
His appeal was rejected in a ruling by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"There is no evidence in the record that the district court was confused about the facts," the three-judge panel said in its ruling Thursday.

What happens to a brand when the spokesperson does something or something happens to him/her that is negative. We used Jim Garner as an example. He was a pitch man for beef, but then he had a heart attack.
This is something else entirely.
