CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

10:15 PST: The Fogle family has released a statement following the hearing:

"Our family is shocked and profoundly disappointed in Jared's abhorrent criminal behavior and we are very concerned for the well being of those affected by his conduct. At the same time, we are gratified that Jared is accepting responsibility for what he has done ... . We hope that he will become healthy again ... and look forward to the day that he rejoins our family and society."

Jared Fogle was just charged with "travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct with minors."

Up to now, the only information in the case was that he allegedly possessed child porn, but the case is far more serious. According to the complaint, between 2010 and 2013, Fogle traveled between Indiana and NYC to engage in sexual acts with minors. The complaint says Fogle paid for sex.

The complaint says in text messages with one of the 14 minor victims, Fogle said he would accept a 16-year-old girl while stating that "the younger the girl, the better."

The complaint says he asked some of the victims to send him pictures of themselves.

The complaint says the child porn authorities found photos and videos of boys and girls. It's unclear the gender of those with whom he had sex.

Part of the case involves images Fogle received from Russell Taylor, the head of Fogle's foundation. According to the complaint, Taylor sent Fogle photos and videos from hidden cameras in Taylor's house, featuring children as young as approximately 6.

Under the plea deal, Fogle agreed to serve at least 5 years in prison and must pay restitution of $1.4 million -- $100,000 per victim. And he must register as a sex offender.

Part of Fogle's punishment ... he can't possess obscene materials, he must participate in a sexual disorders program, can't have unsupervised meetings with minors, and his computers will be subject to random checks.

Fogle turned himself into the FBI today and he's currently being processed.

10:40 AM PST: A rep for Columbus Short tells TMZ, "[Short's] arrest was NOT due to an outstanding warrant ... . It appears that this is a citizen's arrest as a result of an issue between Mr. Short and his bail bondsman."

Columbus Short had a few party crashers during his album release celebration Tuesday night ... bounty hunters and sheriffs who were there to arrest him.

Short was picked up in a club at Universal Studios CityWalk in Los Angeles ... just as he was about to do a soundcheck.

It seems Short was arrested because he failed to appear in one of his domestic violence cases and the judge issued a bench warrant.

In the video, Short is arguing with one of the bounty hunters ... saying they freaked him out and he was afraid for his life.

We're told the bounty hunters were there because they'll get a cut of his $500,000 bail. We're told the bounty hunters swooped in because they believed Short was about to flee the county.

Jared Fogle -- who will cop a plea today in his child porn case -- will get prison time as part of the deal ... sources tell TMZ.

As we previously reported, Jared's home was raided in connection with a child pornography investigation and several of his computers were seized by the feds.

We're told child porn charges will come down at the same time the plea deal is announced.

We do not know the length of the prison sentence, but our sources say he will do time.

Action Bronson’s big appetite for Latin music is coming back to haunt him … he’s being sued for allegedly ripping off 2 tracks by Puerto Rican salsa legends El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico.

The owners of El Gran Combo's songs “Falsaria” and “Trampolin” say the tracks were sampled without permission on Bronson's songs "Mofongo" and "Tapas."

They say Bronson even admitted on Twitter in 2011 he sampled “Falsaria” and single out a 2014 Inquisitor interview where the Queens rapper gushed, "I like to cook to Spanish and Latin music. If you're in the kitchen ... I'd suggest bands like El Gran Cambo de Puerto Rico."

They bring up his affinity for naming songs after food dishes … “Mofongo,” is also the name of a popular Puerto Rican dish.

They claim Bronson has made and is still making bank off the plagiarism because the tracks are still all over music platforms. The owners want Bronson to stop distribution and pay them damages.

Nelson Mandela's grandson is behind bars ... accused of raping a 15-year-old girl in a restaurant bathroom.

24-year-old Mbuso Mandela appeared in a Johannesburg court Monday and will remain in custody at least until another hearing on Friday.

A spokesman for the victim's family told the Daily Sun ... the incident happened on August 7, when Mandela followed the girl into the restroom and "grabbed her and raped her inside one of the toilets."

The Sun also reports the family claims Winnie Mandela sent her bodyguard to their home after the incident in an attempt to talk them out of pursuing the case.

The husband of UFC Octagon girl Brittney Palmer just got a HUGE break ... he won't be prosecuted for allegedly brutalizing her so badly he was arrested for attempted murder.

Aaron Zalewski allegedly choked Brittney within an inch of her life after an argument over a cell phone. She says he overheard her talking to a casting agent who called her "babe" and he went berserk.

Law enforcement sources tell us, Aaron Zalewski will not be charged with a crime. The L.A. City Attorney will hold an informal meeting with the two. If he owns what he did and shows contrition, he won't be prosecuted. The City Attorney could force him into anger management in return for dropping the case.

One string will stay attached ... if he does it again before the statute of limitations runs out, the City Attorney would have the right to file charges.

Shortly after the news broke, Subway tweeted, "We no longer have a relationship with Jared and have no further comment." Previously, Subway had only said Fogle was "suspended."

Jared Fogle will cop a plea in his child porn case ... TMZ has confirmed.

The former Subway spokesperson was a target of a federal investigation which included a raid on his home last month, in which several computers were seized ... allegedly containing child porn.

Law enforcement tells us Fogle will plead guilty to possession of child pornography. Charges have not been filed but we're told that will happen at the same time the plea deal is announced.

The plea -- first reported by Fox59 in Indianapolis -- could come as early as Wednesday.

A judge will determine the sentence.

Michael Jordan testified in federal court that he considers it bad business to do any advertising deals for less than 8-figures!

Robin Williams' widow says she's not getting enough money to make ends meet ... but Robin's kids think she's getting what she deserves.

Susan Schneider filed legal docs in which she complains she's not getting enough money to cover her mortgage, insurance and maintenance of the Tiburon, CA home she shared with Robin. She does not mention a specific amount.

Susan doesn't buy the number the estate came up with ... a number Robin's kids are more than happy with. The reality ... the kids will get what is left when Susan dies. The kids think Susan is just inflating what she deserves so the funds get depleted.

Susan also says she hasn't gotten any money for the house since Robin died more than a year ago. Apparently the hold up is because the various parties can't agree on how much she should get.

Emile Hirsch ain't exactly doing hard time for his Park City assault case ... which might explain why he took one of the most clean-cut mug shots ever.

TMZ obtained the booking photo he took right after pleading guilty Monday for assaulting a Paramount exec in January during the Sundance Film Festival. He got 15 days in jail ... a $4,750 fine ... and 50 hours of community service.

Emile likes the formal look for his mug shots -- as evidenced by the one he took after initially turning himself in to cops. At least he took off his jacket and tie this time.

Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley's arena football team is getting blasted by its own QB ... who says the L.A. Kiss kicked him out of his home just because he suffered an injury during a game.

Emile Hirsch will spend 15 days in the slammer for the Jan. 25 assault on a female studio exec during the Sundance Film Festival.

Hirsch pled guilty to misdemeanor assault Monday in Salt Lake City. He also has to pay a $4,750 fine and do 50 hours of community service.

As TMZ first reported, Hirsch put the Paramount exec in a chokehold. She said she thought she was going to die. Law enforcement told us at the time Emile was heavily intoxicated. He checked himself into rehab shortly after the incident.

Constantine Maroulis has been arrested a second time in less than a week ... and both times his own baby mama is the one who put him behind bars.

The former "American Idol" star -- who was busted Wednesday after a physical fight with Angel Reed -- sent an email to her Sunday, which violates a restraining order prohibiting any contact with her.

Constantine's rep tells TMZ, the email outlined various things that Angel had supposedly done that led to Wednesday's fight -- a fight in which he says he merely defended himself. The rep says the email was supposed to go to Constantine's lawyers, but he accidentally cc'd her.

He was arrested Sunday night after Angel complained about the email. He's already bailed out.

Terrence Howard said under oath he's a changed person after divorcing Michelle Ghent, but when they were together he fell into the dark world of drugs.

Howard testified he and Michelle would often smoke weed and do cocaine and ecstasy together. He also said they watched a lot of porn.

Terrence says all that has changed since they split ... he said, "I refuse to get high, I refuse to watch porn."

Howard and Ghent have been fighting over his spousal support payments. She is angling for more money, claiming $5,800/month payments don't cut it and he needs to pony up more money based on his recent success with "Empire."

Howard has claimed he only agreed to the settlement because she blackmailed him with threats of releasing naked photos and videos.

The man accused of fatally stabbing Morgan Freeman's granddaughter is a wanted man in California ... in connection with a coke bust.

Lamar Davenport -- who allegedly murdered 33-year-old E’Dena Hines early Sunday morning -- was arrested by L.A. County Sheriff's deputies in July 2014 after bringing cocaine to Magic Mountain.

He was charged with felony possession of coke but the judge cut him a break, allowing him to make things right by going to rehab.

Here's the problem. He was supposed to appear in court last February for a progress report but never showed up. It's unclear if he bailed on rehab.

Birdman is accused of using the social media version of "The check's in the mail" to blow off Lil Wayne's producer who is now suing him for a fortune.

The producer -- who goes by DVLP -- had his people make various demands that Birdman and Cash Money cough up $200,000 for work he did on albums for Wayne and other artists.

Birdman's response shows the new frontier in blowing off creditors. Forget a lawyer's letter ... Birdman is all about texting DVLP to hold him at bay.

Some of the texts ...

-- "I'm getting yu paid"

-- "I'm working with yu fam"

-- "You gone get tht 200k"

-- "s**t GETTIN don"

Apparently it didn't, because DVLP is taking it to a judge.
