Fogle explains interest in children in audio recordings

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Audio recordings of former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle explaining his sexual interest in children are set to air on syndicated television this week.

Fogle pleaded guilty in August to child pornography possession and of crossing state lines to engage in illicit sex with minors after the audio recordings were submitted to authorities. Rochelle Herman-Walrond, a former radio host who interviewed Fogle, taped their conversations to give tot he FBI.

She is scheduled to appear on the Dr. Phil television program Thursday and Friday, when the audio recordings will be aired. In the conversations, Fogle explains his sexual interest in children.

"He talks about how to groom a family, he talks about how to groom the victim, he talks about all the things he does, the tricks of his trade. He just basically gives you the playbook of an evil monster," Phil McGraw, host of Dr. Phil, said.

Herman-Walrond said she recorded five years of conversations with Fogle, adding the interviews ended after Fogle suggested installing surveillance cameras in her children's' rooms.

"What if we put a camera in your kids' room, would they be okay with that? Would you rather have it in your son or your daughter's room? Which one do you think would be better?" Fogle can be heard asking in the interviews.

Fogle is scheduled to be sentenced in November and faces a fine and a prison sentence of up to 12 1/2 years.
