Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle reportedly has struck a plea bargain over federal charges, Indiana media reported Tuesday.

WREG-TV, citing unidentified sources, said the 37-year-old Fogle is expected to plead guilty to charges related to an investigation into possession of child pornography. He is expected to appear in federal court Wednesday morning in Indianapolis, and the U.S. attorney plans to hold a news conference afterward.

WTHR-TV also reported the plea deal, based on unnamed sources, and said Fogle might be charged only with conspiracy.

USA TODAY could not independently confirm whether Fogle struck a plea deal.

In an email to USA TODAY, Fogle's attorney Ron Elberger declined to comment. The U.S. Attorney's Office also declined to comment.

Federal agents and state troopers raided Fogle's home July 7 in connection with a child pornography investigation involving Russell Taylor, the former executive director of Fogle's foundation. He was arrested in May and is being held in a Kentucky federal prison awaiting trial. Investigators said they found hidden cameras and child-sex videos on his computer.

Subway dropped Fogle after Taylor's arrest.

"We no longer have a relationship with Jared and have no further comment," the company said Tuesday evening on Twitter.
