Jared Fogle, Subway ad star, in underage sex guilty plea
Mr Taylor, who was arrested in April, has been charged with seven counts of production and one count of possession of child pornography. In May, he reportedly tried to kill himself in jail and was briefly hospitalised.
According to the documents, Mr Fogle's recommended sentencing could range from five to 12 years. He has also agreed to pay $1.4m (£895,000) in compensation to 14 minor victims.
His defence lawyer said he was suffering from a "medical problem" and would be seeking a psychological evaluation.
Separately on Wednesday, Mr Fogle's wife announced she was seeking a divorce and said she was "extremely shocked and disappointed" by the allegations.
Mr Fogle's ad campaign was seen as a huge success, promoting Subway restaurants in the US as a healthy alternative to fast food rivals like McDonald's.
