=== Jared Foundation === In 2004, Fogle established the Jared Foundation, a [[nonprofit organization]] focused on raising awareness about [[childhood obesity]] through educational programs and tools provided to parents, schools, and community organizations.<ref>{{cite news| first=Justin Wm. |last= Moyer| title=Jared Fogle: Another VIP claiming to help children but who allegedly harmed them| url= https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/20/jared-fogle-another-vip-claiming-to-help-children-who-allegedly-harmed-them/| newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]| location= Washington, DC|date=August 20, 2015|access-date=August 22, 2015| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150822031836/http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/08/20/jared-fogle-another-vip-claiming-to-help-children-who-allegedly-harmed-them/|archive-date=August 22, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref> On April 29, 2015, Russell Taylor, director of the Jared Foundation, was arrested at his Indianapolis home on charges of child exploitation, possession of child pornography, and [[Voyeurism#Criminology|voyeurism]]. According to court records, Taylor and his then-wife, Angela Baldwin, sexually molested young girls and installed cameras in their house to film the victims without their knowledge. Fogle severed all ties with Taylor immediately following the arrest.<ref>{{cite news| first1= Greg| last1= Margason|first2=Kendall|last2=Downing|title=Executive director of Jared Foundation arrested on child pornography, exploitation charges| url= http://fox59.com/2015/04/29/executive-director-of-jared-foundation-arrested-on-child-pornography-charges/| work=[[WXIN]].com |location=Indianapolis, Indiana |date= April 29, 2015|access-date=July 7, 2015| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150707210122/http://fox59.com/2015/04/29/executive-director-of-jared-foundation-arrested-on-child-pornography-charges/|archive-date=July 7, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=TaylorPlea2020/> Taylor attempted suicide on May 6, 2015, at the [[Marion County, Indiana|Marion County]] Jail and was placed on life support.<ref name=usaraid>{{cite news| first1= Madeline |last1= Buckley |first2= Justin| last2=Mack|title=Police raid home of Subway pitchman Jared Fogle| url= https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/07/07/police-investigation-jared-fogle-subway-pitchman/29808241/ |newspaper=[[USA Today]]|publisher=[[Gannett Company]]|location=Mclean, Virginia| date=July 7, 2015|access-date=July 7, 2015| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150707215722/http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/07/07/police-investigation-jared-fogle-subway-pitchman/29808241/|archive-date=July 7, 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="fox1">{{cite news| first= Kyee| last=Wierks|title=Former Jared Foundation Director Russell Taylor attempted to commit suicide at the Marion County Jail| url= http://fox59.com/2015/05/06/former-jared-foundation-director-russell-taylor-attempts-suicide-in-marion-county-jail/| work= WXIN.com| location=Indianapolis |date=May 6, 2015| access-date=July 7, 2015| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150707233902/http://fox59.com/2015/05/06/former-jared-foundation-director-russell-taylor-attempts-suicide-in-marion-county-jail/|archive-date=July 7, 2015| url-status=live}}</ref> Taylor pleaded guilty to the charges on September 1, 2015, and on December 10, 2015, was sentenced to 27 years in federal prison.<ref name=PeopleRussellTaylor/> The sentence was thrown out in March 2020 when it emerged that Taylor's lawyer had failed to challenge three charges that were not supported by the evidence.

The article further noted that, on average, the foundation spent $73,000 a year, with the majority of that figure paying the salary of the foundation's executive director. More than one-quarter of the funds were unaccounted for per the foundation's tax records. Daniel Borochoff, president of the non-profit charity watchdog group [[CharityWatch]], was quoted in the ''USA Today'' article as saying, "If Jared was really interested in helping children through his foundation, he could have gotten more money. As with a lot of celebrities, the charity appears to be more about image-enhancement than charitable deeds."<ref name= "USA Today Duplicity" /> The [[Secretary of State of Indiana]] dissolved the organization in February 2012 because it did not pay the required $5 annual reporting fees during the two previous years, despite being requested to do so on multiple occasions.<ref name="fox1" /><ref>{{cite web| first= Rick| last= Callahan| title=Future of Subway pitchman's foundation unclear after raid| url= http://www.salon.com/2015/07/09/future_of_subway_pitchmans_foundation_unclear_after_raid/|website=[[Salon.com]]| publisher=[[Salon Media Group]]| location=San Francisco, California |date= July 8, 2015|access-date=May 16, 2016| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160604023642/http://www.salon.com/2015/07/09/future_of_subway_pitchmans_foundation_unclear_after_raid/|archive-date=June 4, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
