For years, Jared Fogle was known as the "Subway guy" who lost 245 pounds thanks, in part, to his regular patronage of the sandwich chain.

According to court documents released Wednesday, Jared Fogle agreed to plead guilty to allegations that he possessed child pornography and traveled to engage in sexual acts with girls under the age of 17.
