'Dr. Phil' to air tapes of Jared Fogle talking about child sex

INDIANAPOLIS — A Florida woman who made a complaint to Subway about its former pitchman Jared Fogle will appear on Dr. Phil in a two-part program airing Thursday and Friday.

Rochelle Herman-Walrond claims to have secretly taped Fogle discussing sexual encounters with children, a release from the talk show program said.

The program will air the contents of the recorded phone conversations on the show, the release said.

A federal judge will sentence Fogle on Nov. 19 after he agreed to plead guilty to child pornography charges and having sex with minors. The man became Subway's spokesman and a household name after he shed more than 200 pounds by eating Subway sandwiches while he was a student at Indiana University.

A Subway spokesperson last month confirmed that Herman-Walrond made a "serious" complaint in 2011 about Fogle.

The woman also told a Sarasota television station that she recorded phone conversations with Fogle and shared them with the FBI. Authorities have not confirmed this.

Herman-Walrond claims she met Fogle in 2006 when he was a guest on a Florida television show.

Last week, it was announced that Fogle paid $1 million in restitution to 10 of his 14 victims. He paid each victim $100,000. Prosecutors expect the remaining four individuals to receive similar payments before Fogle is sentenced. The funds came from $1.4 million put aside under the terms of a plea agreement.

Court documents allege Fogle, 38, commissioned Russell Taylor, the executive director of his charity focused on childhood obesity, to produce pornography using at least a dozen underage victims, one as young as 6. He also flew several times to New York City to have sex with at least two underage girls.
