FBI Investigates Meghan Markle’s Father Over Child Porn Allegations

1 min read

The FBI has launched an investigation into Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., following allegations that disturbing child sex abuse images were found on his computer. The probe was initiated after his son, Thomas Markle Jr., reported the discovery of hundreds, if not thousands, of such images in storage boxes at their home in Cebu, Philippines.

FBI Involved in U.S. Investigation

According to reports, Thomas Markle Jr. contacted FBI investigators in the U.S., who have since requested contact details for the Philippines-based investigators handling the case. The FBI is now planning to open its own investigation into Thomas Markle Sr., who is currently living in the United States.

Markle Sr. Denies Allegations

Thomas Markle Sr., 82, has dismissed the allegations as ‘sick lies.’ The claims have also prompted a response from Meghan Markle herself, who expressed deep distress over the news. In a statement, she said, ‘I am deeply distressed at the news that has come to light in the last 24 hours, and my thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed.’

Timeline of Events

In July, Thomas Markle Jr., 60, reported the disturbing find to the FBI hotline, the U.S. National Center for Exploited and Missing Children, and state police in Pennsylvania, where his father was living at the time. The son’s actions have led to the FBI’s involvement in the case, which now spans both the U.S. and the Philippines.

Markle Family Returns to UK

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have recently returned to the United Kingdom after residing in California. Their return comes amid ongoing scrutiny and public attention surrounding the allegations against Markle Sr.
