The wife of former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle says she's seeking a divorce and is solely focused on the well being of her and her husband's two children.

Katie Fogle released a statement through her attorney Wednesday saying she is "extremely shocked and disappointed" by the allegations that her husband engaged in sex acts with minors and traded in child pornography.

She says this would be her family's only public statement and requested privacy.

At around the time her statement was being released, Jared Fogle was appearing in an Indianapolis federal courtroom to hear the charges against him.

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