Prosecutors had been seeking a punishment of around 12 years in prison, while Fogle's lawyers asked for a sentence of around five years.

Judge gave him 15 / 13 min.

I'm particularly pleased to hear about the conviction for 'sexual tourism'... despite his pedophilia perversion being 'permitted' in certain places, returning to the US after committing those crimes elsewhere is still a crime in the US.

Not sure what the 13 min. means, but that's the only thing that's been on the Indianapolis news stations. Judge sentenced him to 188 months, he deserves every month---what an idiot.

It means he's not eligible for a parole hearing until he's served 13 years. Which will likely be in seg or a unit full of sexual predators and snitches. I hope he spends every moment thinking about the children he hurt.

Looks like he's putting a bit of weight on. Must be a change of diet.

The 13 minimum means that the earliest he can be released with good behavior credits is in 13 years. That is one year more than the prosecution recommended for a sentence as part of the plea deal. My take is that essentially the judge was indicating rejection of that portion of the deal as too short of a sentence.

[OWC Jamie]

13 years minimum to be served.

Just supposedly means whatever parole process can be implemented for the 13 year mark can be implemented at/for the 13 year mark and not before. He could be out at 13 if the parole process yields that allowance.

As much as I am glad he's going away for a LONG time, I am NOT in favor of the U.S. laws regulating citizens while they are NOT on U.S. soil. It's a bad precedent.
Working to establish laws WORLD WIDE to protect children, THAT is a better way to deal with it.

I agree with you Paul. Would we stand for it here in the US if we were arrested at the Wyoming border, because someone saw us smoking pot in Colorado? Or getting dragged out of our cars at the California border because we were with a hooker in Nevada?

A better example would be does every American get a ticket when re-entering the country for driving on the "wrong" side of the road on their trip to England?

The Law is the law WHERE it is the Law, not someplace else.
