Jared Fogle, the former Subway spokesman sentenced in November to almost 16 years in prison for possessing child pornography and traveling across state lines to have sex with a minor, was allegedly attacked in late January in the prison yard.
The Jan. 29 assault at the Englewood Prison in Colorado left Fogle with cuts and bruises on his face, a bloody nose, and neck abrasions, People reports. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons would not confirm the attack, but the brother of the man who purportedly attacked Fogle confirmed that it happened and said his brother, Steven Nigg, started it because he "just can't be around child molesters. He doesn't like them."
