Where are Russell Taylor and Angela Baldwin now?

A new Investigation Discovery documentary about disgraced Subway announcer Jared Fogle peels back the layers of an intricate web of abuse. In Jared from the Subway: Catching a Monsterthe monster in question goes beyond Fogle and into the troubled minds of the people who helped him obtain child abuse material.

One man, Russell Taylor, was the executive director of the Jared Foundation, the nonprofit founded by Fogle to fight childhood obesity. His wife, Angela Taylor (now Baldwin), not only helped her husband, but also involved her own children and their friends. To say that these two are depraved hardly scratches the surface. Where are Russell Taylor and Angela Baldwin now? Here’s what we know.

A May 2022 press release United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana states that Taylor and Baldwin were sentenced to 27 and 33 years in prison, respectively. According to court documents, sometime in 2014, Taylor offered to give child sexual abuse material to an acquaintance. That person alerted the Indiana State Police, who searched the couple’s home, where they found child sexual abuse footage on “multiple electronic devices” and “law enforcement officers” concluded that there were likely hidden cameras in the home.”

It was soon revealed that Taylor Fogle had provided child sexual abuse material to Fogle, leading to both being charged and convicted in 2015. However, Taylor successfully appealed, which resulted in his conviction being overturned in 2020. “Discovered evidence implicating Baldwin and she was charged with the production of child sexual abuse material, possession of child sexual abuse material and conspiracy.” accused of producing child sexual abuse material.”

Between 2011 and 2015, Taylor and Baldwin placed hidden cameras in their home that caught Baldwin’s children and their children’s friends engaging in sexual acts encouraged by the couple. Court Documents received from Law & Crime This includes testimonies from nine minors whose experiences range from the couple’s supply of alcohol and drugs to sexual activity with them.

Assistant US Attorney Kathryn E. Olivier wrote in Russell Taylor’s sentencing memorandum: “The facts show that the defendant abused and exploited multiple children over a period of years, including the practical sexual abuse of 2 children. This heinous behavior deserves severe punishment to deter the accused [Taylor]and others like him from doing it again.”

Baldwin’s daughters, Hannah Parrett and Christian Showalter, were bullied by their mother and stepfather. In conversation with the New York Post, they went into detail about how this affected them. Parrett, now 21, said when she and her sister first met Taylor, “he was very charismatic.” Before he came into her life, Baldwin was very religious and raised her daughters in a very strict household, but that is changing.

Once she met Taylor, Baldwin “just became a whole different person than she was,” Showalter, 24, told the outlet. Soon her mother was placing hidden cameras in her home at the behest of Taylor, who was allegedly prompted by Fogle. “Jared was the puppeteer … And then Russell and my mom were the puppets,” she said.

Unfortunately, Showalter and Parrett both gained access to video footage collected by the FBI as evidence, and they have a hard time forgetting what they saw. “It’s one thing to know that something happened. It’s a whole different thing to see physically the evidence of what happened,” Parrett said. “You can’t get those images out of your head. I mean, they’re ingrained in my brain forever.” Her sister added that she was “speechless”.

Showalter is engaged and has a daughter of her own, which only horrifies her more at what her mother has done. “It’s just so hard for me to accept that. And I think her walking away and getting out of our lives really helped me come to terms with that,” she said.
