Now Fogle, who is currently detained at a federal prison in Colorado, has lodged court documents blaming the girl’s parents for a cycle of despair, self-harm, and drink and drug abuse which she says was the result of his abuse. Simply put, he's claiming that the girl's parents, named only as B.T. and J.T, put their daughter in an emotionally precarious position to make harmful choices, not him.

His reasoning is that the girl, referred to as Jane Doe in court documents, had been neglected by her parents as they went through a turbulent divorce.

This is despite the fact that in court papers she told how she learned that Fogle’s business partner, Russell Taylor, had filmed her with secret cameras bathing and undressing at his house, to which she was a regular visitor between March 2011 and January 2015. Fogle, she said, had solicited the videos from Taylor, and she was one of a series of minors Taylor captured on camera for his perverted business partner’s illegal pleasure.

But it's not his fault that she suffered from depression and trauma following the incident, as his lawyers went on to say:The parents have not responded to the legal case, and a judge will have to approve a full-scale court action.Hopefully that judge will see it for what it is — an absolutely asinine claim that holds about as much weight as the iceberg lettuce on a $5 footlong sub.
