Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle's legal attempt to shift the blame onto the parents of one of his child pornography victims for the girl's emotional distress is a "bizarre" argument, one legal expert said Friday. "To suggest that negligent supervision of a child somehow led to these psychological damages, from being tricked into pornography, to becoming a child pornography victim, seems to me to be outlandish," Krent said Friday. He said Fogle's attorneys want the girl's parents added as defendants so that they "may share some of the fiscal responsibility" if any damages are awarded in the case. Attorneys for the girl, who's one of the 14 victims, filed a lawsuit in March against Fogle, the former head of his anti-obesity charity, Russell Taylor and Taylor's wife. Fogle paid $100,000 to each of a dozen victims, as well as two others he had sex with at New York City hotels.
