 Jared Fogle has filed a federal complaint against the parents of an alleged victim who sued the disgraced former Subway pitchman after he allegedly received secret recordings of her changing her clothes and bathing, according to court papers obtained by PEOPLE.Last March, the girl's parents filed a lawsuit against Fogle, who is serving more than 15 years in prison for conspiracy to receive child pornography and traveling to have sex with a minor, for emotional distress.The parent's lawsuit alleges that Russell Taylor, the former head of Fogle's charity, secretly filmed the underage girl and other children while they were changing clothes and bathing at Taylor's house and gave the footage to Fogle. The lawsuit filed in the federal district court for the Southern District of Indiana is seeking at least $150,000 in damages.In the motion filed Thursday, Fogle says the girl's parents “through their actions, caused or significantly contributed to the injuries and damages alleged by Jane Doe in her Complaint against the Defendants.”Fogle alleges the parents were responsible for their daughter's depression, anxiety and emotional distress because of their "hateful and abusive relationship toward each other, which included, but was not limited to, engaging in frequent fighting and arguing between themselves; abusing alcohol and getting drunk; and engaging in frequent fighting, physical abuse, and arguing with Jane Doe."Fogle also claims that the parents abuse and neglect caused their daughter's alcohol and substance abuse, self-mutilation, and suicidal ideations.Fogle's attorney, Ron Elberger, declined to comment.In June, Fogle lost a bid to have his prison sentence reduced. At that time, Elberger had argued that the sentencing judge abused her authority after prosecutors in a plea deal had agreed to seek no more than 12 1/2 years, or 150 months, following Fogle's guilty plea.Fogle currently is serving his sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Englewood in suburban Denver, Colorado. 

 Disgraced Subway pitchman Jared Fogle has found a new way to inflict pain on one of his victims, blaming her parents rather than himself for her emotional distress. 
 
 The unidentified Indiana girl’s parents filed suit against Fogle, currently serving 16 years in federal prison, earlier this year for injuries from his invasion of privacy and negligence. 
 
 Fogle’s friend Russell Taylor, sentenced to 27 years in prison, was found guilty of secretly recording their daughter and others changing clothes and bathing at his house over more than four years and distributing the images to the former spokesman. 
 
 The suit filed in March had asked for $150,000 in damages, though a motion from Fogle’s legal team wants to name the girl’s parents as defendants.

 Fogle’s previous efforts to mitigate his responsibility for his heinous crimes have failed, with a federal judge rejecting his attempt to reduce his 15-year eight-month sentence earlier this year. 
 
 The legal process unearthed documents showing sick texts in which he “craved” sex with 14- and 15-year-olds and was willing to pay hundreds of dollars for it.

 Disgust generated as the former weight-loss guru's actions led one inmate at his federal prison in Colorado to beat him. The inmate said Fogle paraded around the joint like a “celebrity.” 
 
 With his current sentence, Fogle won’t be eligible for parole until 2029.

– A young Indiana girl was secretly filmed by Russell Taylor over a period of more than four years during times she was bathing and changing clothes at his home; Taylor, a friend of former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle, then passed the videos to Fogle. The girl's parents sued Fogle earlier this year for $150,000 in damages linked to that invasion of privacy—but in a motion filed by Fogle's legal team Thursday, Fogle said the parents are actually to blame for her emotional distress and should be named as defendants, the New York Daily News reports. "Through their actions, [the divorced couple] caused or significantly contributed to the injuries and damages alleged by Jane Doe in her Complaint against the Defendants," the motion states. It goes on to allege that the parents got drunk and argued with the girl and each other, leading her to be depressed, have suicidal thoughts, and struggle with substance abuse and self-mutilation. It also alleges that they physically abused their daughter, People reports.
