Jared Fogle Spent AT LEAST $12K A Year On Hookers

Jared Fogle spent at least $12,000 a year on prostitutes, a forensic psychiatrist testifying in his defense told a federal court in Indiana Thursday.

The psychiatrist — John Bradford, of the University of Ottawa — made the jarring revelation amid a number of other shocking statements delivered to the court as the ex-Subway pitchman awaits his sentencing in his guilty plea to charges of having paid sex with two minors, and possessing and sending child [expletive].

Fogle, 38, only suffers from "weak pedophilia" and "mild pedophilia," the psychiatrist said, adding that the millionaire celebrity had "mild or infrequent fantasies about pre-pubertal children." (Bradford clarified that "16- or 17-year-olds are not pre-pubertal children.")

Bradford said that "there's no evidence I know that he molested a child," despite Fogle's caught-on-tape confessions to having had an "amazing" time with a "little boy," among other shocking revelations.

The psychiatrist also told the court he believes that the 200+ pound weight loss that made Fogle the face of the sandwich brand paved his path to outrageous sexual behavior.

"Once he lost weight, it seemed as though in a short time he had hyper-sexuality — there are brain disorders that can be associated with sexual drive," he said, noting that an eating disorder Fogle battled from his youth to college years might have also played a factor in his behavior.
