Hamill: Jared Fogle is bad, but this perv Brooklyn father is worse

The New York Daily News

The former millionaire Subway pitchman is now one of the most reviled human beings on Earth — and deservedly so.

Jared Fogle, who became famous for losing 245 pounds while eating only Subway sandwiches, is expected to plead guilty to having sex with minors and possession of pornographic images of children as young as 6.

But behind the Fogle headlines suffer the nameless, defenseless, forever-damaged kids he abused and exploited. Any of those kids could easily be one of our kids.

As Fogle’s plea deal was being finalized by his attorneys paid from the millions he made as a Subway spokesman, a hearing was held earlier this week in Brooklyn Family Court about a 5-year-old girl allegedly abused and exploited by her own father.

The father was accused of taking pornographic photos of his own daughter and swapping them on sicko pedophile websites for graphic images of other abused and exploited children. There is no crime lower on the depravity meter than exploiting your own innocent child.

The father’s international Web traffic was spotted by the Department of Homeland Security and a team of feds. NYPD cops stormed into his Brooklyn home on a winter morning where they found multiple pornographic images of his daughter on his computer devices.

Authorities say he confessed to his monstrous deeds, too graphic to detail. He was charged with promoting a sexual performance with a child and distributing the images on the net and was led away in handcuffs. His family later posted a six-figure bail.

The accused father in the Brooklyn case had the audacity to ask the court for visits with his daughter. The no-nonsense judge rejected this request.

Absent from the courtroom, of course, was the exploited child.

After her father’s arrest, that little girl’s life was thrown into upheaval. She lost all contact with her father. Her mother had to relocate to another borough and enroll her midterm into a new school. At age 5, she lost contact with friends, schoolmates, and her neighborhood.

She cannot appear with schoolmates in class photos placed online because tenacious perverts using facial recognition software often try to track down the exploited kids they fixate upon in child porn.

Now 6, the little girl rarely mentions her father anymore. A month for each of the 245 pounds this sub-humanoid Fogle lost eating subs — about 20 years — is a good place to start balancing the scales of justice for all the lost years of innocence of the kids he sexually abused and exploited. The punishment for the father who exploited his own daughter should be even greater.
