On November 19, 2015; Fogle formally pleaded guilty before federal judge Tanya Walton Pratt. In a statement, Fogle apologized for his crimes, saying that he wanted a chance to become a "good, honest person" and "redeem my life" after being ensnared in a life of "deception, lies and complete self-centeredness." According to a forensic psychiatrist who testified for Fogle's defense team, Fogle suffered from compulsive eating disorder for several years before losing weight, and replaced food with a sense of "hypersexuality."
Pratt sentenced him to 15 years 8 months in prison, more than three years greater than what prosecutors had sought, and three times what Fogle had recommended. "The level of perversion and lawlessness exhibited by Mr. Fogle is extreme," Pratt said. Fogle must serve a minimum of 13 years before becoming eligible for time off with good behavior. After serving his sentence, he will be on supervised release for the rest of his life. Pratt also fined him $175,000 and ordered him to forfeit $50,000 in assets, in addition to the $1.4 million restitution. Fogle will serve his sentence at Federal Correctional Institution, Englewood in Littleton, Colorado; it has a program for sex offenders.
