Jared Fogle plans to sue parents of young girl he was convicted of abusing

Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle is planning to sue the parents of one of the young girls he was convicted of abusing.

Fogle, 39, is claiming that the parents of one of his victims are partly responsible for her abuse, according to a report in TMZ.

He now thinks the family should accept partial responsibility.

The suit, which names the victim as Jane Doe, says her parents fought often and abused alcohol in front of her. This subsequently led her to engage in “destructive behavior”, including self-harm and drug abuse, and ultimately resulted in her being abused.

1. all "ugh" aside, how does he claim to have legal standing?

[mythology]

11. I'm sure it goes something like this

If they hadn't been drinkers, then their kid wouldn't be a drinker, meaning he wouldn't have been forced to do horribly inappropriate things to her.

I'd be embarrassed at trying to defend myself with a woman was drunk/dressed provocatively/etc that I couldn't control myself, much less a 9 year old girl.

2. Fucking asshole.

Leave this family the hell alone. You were responsible for your crimes. The girl didn't make you do it, her parents sure af didn't make you do it. This lawsuit going after your victim's family is vindictive and almost certainly won't win but will drag them through the mud and cost them a ton of money.

3. Jared HAS to counter sue

Otherwise, how will his lawyers make any money? It becomes the war-of-attrition, expense-account defensive tactic. Outlast the abuse victim.

I'm not sure if if I'd be less cynical if I wasn't married to a lawyer, or more.

4. Sick, sick, sick!!!!!

5. His behavior has really shed a lot of light on child predators

They think their behavior is normal and when they're caught, they don't take responsibility for there actions. They blame the child's parents. They say the child was "seductive".

8. That's been going on forever and it's not just the perpetrators who do it.

If you want to think a lot less of your fellow DUers and you're on an empty stomach try plugging "Roman Polanski" into the search bar in the top right.

13. Don't get me started! n/t

7. Jared, get out of the spotlight.

The more you are in the news, the more people want to kick your ass.

10. I'm glad he was beaten up

12. I'm thinking this will do it

And hopefully the beatings will continue until he drops the suit.
