The father of the American actress and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, was sent to prison again - Thomas Markle is accused of possessing child pornography, and now he also arbitrarily cut off the electronic bracelet he was forced to wear during house arrest, writes Reuters.
The court ordered that Merkel's detention be extended without bail and ordered that he be held separately from other prisoners. He also ordered a medical examination and a psychiatric examination due to doubts as to whether the 82-year-old man is able to participate in the trial.
Against the background of her father's case, attention is also focused on Meghan Markle. She has not been in contact with him since 2018. On November 10, the Duchess made her first public appearance after his arrest - together with Prince Harry, she attended an event at the European Parliament in Brussels, but canceled the planned speech.
Thomas Markle was arrested on November 6. He is charged with possession of child sexual abuse materials. The FBI found, in particular, two candid photos of Markle himself with a naked minor girl, as well as other photos of children. Some of the materials were seized from two storage facilities in Los Angeles that he rented. Markle has previously denied that he kept such images.
