INDIANAPOLIS — The man who led the foundation for former Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle has been sentenced to 27 years for child exploitation. His ex-wife has been sentenced to over 33 years.
A now-divorced Indiana couple is accused of sharing sexually explicit photos of children with Jared Fogle. According to The Associated Press, Russell Taylor, 50, was sentenced to 27 years in prison on Monday after pleading guilty in 2021 to 30 child pornography and sexual exploitation counts. Taylor ran Fogle’s nonprofit foundation. IndyStar says he allegedly sexually molested young girls with his ex-wife and they used cameras to film the acts without the girls knowing.
His ex-wife, Angela Baldwin, 40, was sentenced to 33 years and four months in prison. Last October, she was convicted of two counts of producing child sexual abuse material, a count of conspiracy to produce child sexual abuse material and one count of possessing child sexual abuse material, according to the AP.
IndyStar says both Taylor and Russell allegedly shared the videos and photos of girls on hidden cameras with Fogle. Fogle was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2015 for possession or distribution of child porn and for crossing state lines to have sexual encounters with a minor.
Taylor was originally sentenced in 2015, but U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt found in 2020 that he had received ineffective legal assistance, the AP reported.
