Jared Fogle, “the Subway Guy,” as many know him, is currently under FBI investigation. The FBI searched his home on Tuesday to search for any involvement in a child pornography case. According to a CNN article entitled “Authorities search long time Subway pitchman Jared Fogle’s home,” the executive director of the Jared Foundation was arrested two months prior, regarding a child pornography case.
Due to this search and Fogle’s unknown, but possible, participation in child pornography, the public has taken to social media to voice their surprise.

What a week: First Bill Cosby and now Jared Fogle. I really hope Betty White doesn't have any skeletons that we find out about. #Really

Despite the fact that Fogle has not been convicted or charged with anything, people have already begun to assume his part in the case.
Here's the rest of every Jared's life: "Jared? Like, the guy from Subway who's into kids?" or "He went to Jared!"

However, some appear to be be unsurprised by the search.

Due to the investigation, Subway has cut its ties with Fogle for the present time. Despite that, Fogle’s nickname may not prevent the association between Subway and Fogle.
Subway & Jared Fogle have agreed to suspend their relationship due to the current investigation. Jared is cooperating with authorities.
