Re: “Ex-Subway pitchman Jared Fogle to serve prison sentence in Colorado,” Dec. 19 news story.
I am disgusted and outraged by the article updating the public on Jared Fogle’s relocation to a Colorado federal prison.
While Fogle’s behavior is disgusting, the outrageous aspect of this story is the description of his victims as “underage prostitutes.” Underage victims of sex trafficking are re-victimized by this characterization, which implies a level of consent or even collusion by these children. Stop it.
