INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jared Fogle’s family members say they are “shocked and profoundly disappointed” by the former Subway pitchman’s behavior but grateful that he is accepting responsibility.

Fogle’s family released a statement saying they are also very concerned for the well-being of those affected by his actions. Fogle appeared in an Indianapolis federal courtroom Wednesday on child sex and child pornography charges.

Prosecutors say he has agreed to plead guilty on a later date to one count each of traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and the distribution and receipt of child pornography.

Fogle’s family says they are happy he is seeking medical treatment and hope he will make amends when he’s done serving his eventual sentence.

Fogle’s wife issued a separate statement saying she’s seeking a divorce.
