Federal prosecutors want former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle to be locked up for the maximum amount of time possible. Fogle is pleading guilty to paying for sex with underage girls.

U.S. Attorney Steven DeBrota is asking a federal judge in Indianapolis to sentence Fogle to 12.5 years in prison and then a lifetime of parole, the maximum possible under Fogle’s August guilty plea.

Investigators raided Fogle’s Indianapolis-area home over the summer and charged him weeks later. Prosecutors say Fogle had sex with young girls while staying at fancy hotels while on business trips for Subway and his foundation.

Fogle has already paid $1.4 million in restitution to more than a dozen victims. He’s scheduled to be sentenced next Thursday.
