Fogle was charged with accepting video and pictures of 12 minor girls engaged in sexual acts allegedly recorded by Taylor with hidden cameras. Fogle had met many of the girls socially in the Indianapolis area,according to prosecutors. The US also alleged Taylor gave Fogle child pornography from overseas involving victims as young as six years old.
Fogle was also charged with crossing state lines to engage in sexual acts with minors,having traveled to New York to meet two girls in Manhattan hotels. As part of the plea deal last month,he faced as long as 30 years in prison and a $US250,000 fine. Prosecutors and Fogle's lawyer asked the judge for a sentence of at least five years and less than 12 years and seven months.
US District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt in Indianapolis handed down the sentence Thursday.
Subway cut ties with Fogle after the raid of his home. But even with the scandal behind it,the sandwich chain faces other challenges.
