Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of child pornography and traveling for illicit paid sex with minors and is scheduled to be sentenced to prison. Fogle, who gained fame after losing weight on a Subway diet, has also agreed to avoid pornography, receive sexual disorder treatment, be registered as a sex offender, and pay $1.4 million in restitution to his 14 victims.

Federal prosecutors recommended last week that Fogle serve a prison sentence of 12 and a half years and be under lifetime supervision. A forensic psychiatrist said that Fogle has "mild" pedophilia and an alcohol problem.
