Russell Taylor
Full Name: Russell Charles Taylor Jr
Occupation: Director of the Jared Foundation
Goals: Sending child pornography to Jared Fogle (succeeded)
Getting away from his child pornography crimes (failed)
Crimes: Child Pornography
Type of Villain: Pervert

On April 29, 2015, Russell Taylor, director of the Jared Foundation, was arrested at his Indianapolis home on charges of child exploitation, possession of child pornography, and voyeurism. Jared Fogle severed all ties with him immediately following the arrest. Taylor attempted suicide on May 6, 2015, at the Marion County Jail and was placed on life support. Taylor pleaded guilty to the charges on September 1, 2015, and on December 10, 2015, was sentenced to 27 years in federal prison. But there was another, dangerous and dark side to Russell Charles Taylor Jr., according to federal authorities, who in May accused the Indianapolis man of producing and possessing child pornography. It is a dramatically different image from the low-profile public persona of the man who headed the Jared Foundation, promoting the youth outreach work of longtime Subway pitchman Jared Fogle.  Today, Taylor is in federal custody following a failed suicide attempt at the Marion County Jail just days after his arrest.  And on Tuesday federal and state authorities raided Fogle's Zionsville home. Subway said in a statement that the raid appeared to be "related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee."  Fogle, the Indiana University grad who has amassed a fortune estimated at $15 million from representing Subway, has not been detained or charged with any crime. Whether or not the case against Taylor will lead to charges against Fogle remains a mystery.
