Seriously it sounds like Fogle was set up- but he is planning to plead guilty to charges related to the possession of child pornography and having sex with a minor.
The last part of the sentence is not true. They have no evidence that he ever fucked any underage girl. They are charging him with “traveling to have sex with a minor” – what a weird crime!
I read more about this, and I want to throw the book at both of these guys. They are pretty clearly what I would call pedophilic types (nonpreferential). It’s just not normal to have such extreme sexual interest in little girls. The first guy is shooting nudes of girls down to age 6 in his house. He is also collecting a ton of child porn of girls down to age 6. He shared a lot of this with Fogle. So Fogle not only likes to fuck teenage girls (which is an understandable and 100% normal desire in any man and is certainly not pedophilic or even abnormal), he also has an extreme abnormal interest in kids, apparently little girls all the way down to age 6.
He had a ton of that child porn on his servers. It was probably real child porn because simple nudes of kids are pretty much legal. There are nude shots of kids all over the Net, and I believe they are legal. They are often “nudist” type photos. So his CP went beyond nudes. I am not even sure when a nude pic of a minor even becomes illegal. My understanding is that nudes of minors per se are not illegal, but they are if they are posing in a pornographic or sexually provocative way.
Throw the book at both of them.
Fogle also did indeed try to set up a situation where he fucked an underage prostitute, but it fell through. He traveled quite some distance to make that happen. I do not agree with such laws, but you can’t do that. For instance, I can’t make an arrangement with some 14 year girl to go to a hotel somewhere so we can fuck and then drive a ways over to that hotel to meet her. That’s illegal, and I can be arrested.
I just don’t see why he owes this teenage minor whore in New York City one nickel. She’s 17. That’s legal age in New York. What did he do wrong? In what universe is she a “victim?” How on Earth did he “victimize” her?
