Russell Taylor, 44, was charged in May with seven counts of production of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
His attorney, Brad Banks, told WXIN-TV Channel 59 in Indianapolis that they "anticipate the filing of a guilty plea in the near future," possibly as early as Tuesday.
Taylor led the Indianapolis-based Jared Foundation, which raises awareness and money to fight childhood obesity. Taylor is in federal custody.
Fogle, a Zionsville resident, is also expected to plead guilty at a hearing in November. He faces federal charges of distribution and receipt of child pornography and traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.
Fogle has been released on home detention.
In a separate case, Fogle is suing Taylor for allegedly defaulting on a $191,000 personal loan to buy an Indianapolis home. Fogle claims in the lawsuit filed last week that Taylor since May has not made monthly payments of $850 that were called for in a land contract dated March 10, 2014. Taylor owed $184,400 as of Aug. 17.
