While her well-known
husband was in federal court in Indianapolis to hear the charges against
him, Katie Fogle released a statement through her attorney expressing
disgust at his actions.
"Obviously, I am
extremely shocked and disappointed by the recent developments involving
Jared," she said. "I am in the process of seeking a dissolution of the
marriage. My focus is exclusively on the well-being of my children."
Katie Fogle said it would be her only public statement about the matter and she asked for privacy for her family.
In
a separate statement issued through a public relations firm, Fogle's
family said they were "shocked and profoundly disappointed" by his
behavior but grateful that he is accepting responsibility. They also
expressed concern for the well-being of those affected by his actions.
The statement was released on behalf of "the Fogle family" and didn't specify whether Katie Fogle also endorsed it.
Fogle
has agreed to plead guilty on a later date to one count each of
traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and the
distribution and receipt of child pornography.
As
part of his plea deal, prosecutors said they would not seek a sentence
of more than 12 1/2 years in prison and Fogle agreed to push for a
sentence of at least five years behind bars. He also agreed to pay $1.4
million in restitution to 14 victims - $100,000 each - and to register
as a sex offender.
