Jared Fogle, who is serving a 15-year sentence for child porn and sex crime charges, was attacked and left bloodied by a fellow inmate in the prison yard on Jan. 29.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, another inmate confronted the 38-year-old in a yard at the Federal Correctional Institute in Englewood, Colorado before “unloading a barrage of punches."
Documents report that “[Steven] Nigg, who’s in for a weapons charge, left Fogle with a bloody nose, swollen face and scratches on his neck.”
The 60-year-old man, who walked away from the fight with a small cut to his left hand, was placed in solitary confinement. The man's family told TMZ they're not surprised he attacked Fogle because he had been angry about the amount of child sex predators in the low-security facility.
After rising to fame by losing 200 pounds, in part by eating Subway sandwiches, Fogle is serving 15.8 years in prison after pleading guilty to child pornography charges and having sex with minors. Fogle will also be subjected to lifetime supervised release following the completion of his sentence.
“For most of my adult life, I’ve been in the spotlight, trying to be a role model. … I became dependent on alcohol, pornography and prostitutes,” he told the court at the time. "Not a day will go by when I don't think about what I did to (the victims)," according to the Star's report. "I so regret that I let so many of you down."
A raid on his Indianapolis home led him to plead guilty to one count each of travelling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and distribution and receipt of child pornography.
