HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- The first identified victim of defamed former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle has spoken out about her alleged abuse.

The victim, 16-year-old Analissa, appeared in an exclusive interview on Dr. Phil Thursday to describe how Russell Taylor, Fogle's close friend and head of his foundation, "groomed" her for future sexual assault when she was 14-years-old.

"He asked if I had ever experienced an orgasm, and just had me convinced to have sex with him at 16," the teen said.

Analissa was illegally recorded inside Taylor's home by hidden cameras located in bedrooms and bathrooms. Videos of her were allegedly sent to Fogle on a regular basis.

"He took my happiness, he took my trust, he took my pride, everything," she said. "I feel so low. I feel like nothing."

Last month, recordings of Fogle describing his obsession with child pornography were played on air on Dr. Phil, reportedly prompting Analissa to step forward. During the interview, she explained how she felt something was wrong, "but at the time, I didn't really understand that."

Fogle, a former public figure and father, is scheduled to be sentenced this month and faces a prison sentence of up to 12-1/2 years.
