"I do believe there are more victims of his out there," Rochelle Herman-Walrond told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview from her Florida home. "I believed that throughout the whole of his trial. I encourage them to come forward, it's how the healing begins."

Herman-Walrond — whose secret recordings of Fogle telling her how he wanted to have sex with youngsters led to the child sex offender being caged for 15 years — also expressed her disgust that Fogle has yet to show remorse for his sickening crimes.

As RadarOnline.com reported, Fogle, who appeared in numerous Subway ads from 2000 to 2015 after boasting of losing 245lbs since eating twice a day at their restaurants, pleaded guilty to child pornography charges and paying for sex with minors. "I didn't know the signs to look out for before and now I do. Of course I'm worried there are more out there like him," 48-year-old Herman-Walrond said.

Herman-Walrond noted she hasn't been in contact with investigators since 38-year-old Fogle's conviction and that a new book she is writing about her experience is helping her cope with the lasting effects of the investigation. "I haven't had any contact with the FBI since the trial," she told RadarOnline.com. "If the same circumstances came up again or I had the chance to do it again, I would. But I won't lie; it was mentally anguishing."

"It tears your heart out," said Herman-Walrond of the ordeal, "but at least I have my husband and children and we can move forward."

"Writing the book is a wonderful outlet for me — it helps me deal with everything. It helps me get through," said Herman-Walrond.

"Fogle's a monster," Herman-Walrond blasted of her former colleague. "I'm not sure there is a way of monitoring the Internet for people like him, but at least his conviction shows people like him, famous people, can and will be caught if they do something as hideous as pedophilia."

Talking about how she triggered the investigation into Fogle, she added: "I sent Subway an email, an online complaint, about the comments he had made about myself and my two young children. It should have been investigated immediately but it slipped through the cracks, but eventually he was arrested."
