Meghan's father Thomas Markle appears in court over child sex abuse material

Thomas Markle, father of the Duchess of Sussex, appeared in court after being charged in the United States with possessing images of child sexual abuse. The FBI arrested him in Florida after searching two Los Angeles-area storage units he had rented since 2008, seizing about 78 items, including negatives, slides and books that agents allege contained the material. The court ordered him to remain under home detention at his Florida assisted living facility and wear electronic monitoring; no plea was entered, and an arraignment date in California will be set later. Markle, 82, has previously denied the allegations, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not commented on his arrest.
