“Jeff Moody did not work for Subway’s corporate offices and was never a member of the SUBWAY® management team. If he, or any of his staff, ever received complaints about Jared Fogle, he did not escalate them to Subway’s management team,” the company told Us Weekly in a statement. “Jeff served as the CEO of the Franchisee Advertising Fund Trust, a separate franchisee-run organization that operated at a separate address and with a separate staff from Subway corporate. As previously stated, we have no record of Cindy Mill’s complaint to Jeff Moody. We are continuing our investigation into this matter.”
In regards to the current situation, they added: “Our investigation into Ms. Herman’s claims is on-going. As soon as it is concluded we will communicate our findings.”
ORIGINAL STORY: Subway was allegedly aware of Jared Fogle’s interest in young children years before his recent arrest. Cindy Mills, a former Subway franchisee, told Business Insider that Fogle told her about his interest in minors and that she then alerted three different executives within Subway’s advertising unit who, she alleges, did pretty much nothing.
After meeting at a company function, Mills said that Fogle would call her daily and “would just tell me he really like them young.” According to BI, Mills claims that Fogle told her about having sex with child prostitues between the ages of 9 and 16 in Thailand as well as in the U.S. He also allegedly tried to get her to sell herself for sex on Craigslist. The FBI has since subpoenaed an affidavit containing the alleged texts between Mills and Fogle, in which he allegedly tells her she could earn up to $500 per sexual act off Craigslist.
