Former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle has agreed to plead guilty on charges related to child pornography and paying for sex with minors, The Associated Press reports.

As part of the plea deal, the government will not recommend a sentence more than 12 and a half years in prison, with Fogle agreeing not to ask for a sentence less than five years. The agreement also stipulates that Fogle pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14 minor victims, register as a sex offender and undergo treatment for sexual disorders.

Fogle is expected to plead guilty to one count of travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography on Wednesday morning. Fogle's attorneys and the Fogle family will give statements following the former Subway pitchman's court hearing.

Fogle's wife Katie Fogle has also filed for divorce amid the scandal, Us Weekly reports. "Obviously, I am extremely shocked and disappointed by the recent developments involving Jared. I am in the process of seeking a dissolution of the marriage," she said in a statement. "My focus is exclusively on the well-being of my children. Neither I nor my family will have any further comment on the matter. I appreciate respect for my family's privacy during this difficult time."

The couple, who were married in July 2010, have two children together.

Federal agents raided Fogle's Indiana home in early July, where they seized several computers and DVDs. The FBI also subpoenaed an affidavit containing text messages in which Fogle allegedly admitted to paying for sex with a 16-year-old girl. Subway swiftly ended their relationship with Fogle after the raid.
