Jared Fogle, who became a celebrity and spokesperson for the Subway sandwich chain after losing hundreds of pounds by making Subway a large part of his diet, will plead guilty to charges of child pornography.

Fox 59 reports that he will plead guilty to the charges in court on Wednesday, after which prosecutors will have a press conference describing the incidents in detail. Fogle's house was raided by the police in early July.

That raid was the result of evidence found after the arrest of Russell Taylor, who led a foundation founded by Fogle that was dedicated to fighting childhood obesity. Police found hundreds upon hundreds of videos of child pornography in Taylor's home. In May, Taylor tried to kill himself while in Jail, according to Fox 59.

As soon as the raid on Fogle's house took place, Subway erased Fogle from their websites and ad campaigns overnight, in an effort to hide the fact that he had been the face of the company for more than a decade.
