Ex-Subway Pitchman Jared Fogle's Victims Get at Least $1 Million

INDIANAPOLIS — Ten victims of former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle have received a total of $1 million in restitution since he agreed to plead guilty to child pornography and sex crime charges, and his four other victims could get their checks before he's sentenced next month.
The $100,000 checks were hand-delivered to each of the 10 victims or their parents over the past several weeks, with each signing a form saying that they had received the money and that it is intended to benefit that particular victim, Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven DeBrota told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Three adults and seven minors had received their checks as of Thursday, said DeBrota, who said he's handled only one other case in which restitution was paid to victims before sentencing in nearly a quarter-century of prosecuting child porn cases.
DeBrota said that by the time a federal judge sentences Fogle on Nov. 19 to a minimum of five years in prison, prosecutors expect to have either presented checks to Fogle's four other victims or to have plans in place to disburse those funds to them.
