Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and daughter-in-law of the British King, who was arrested in the United States on charges of possessing images of child sexual abuse, appeared in a Florida court on Friday. The court ordered that he be placed under house arrest and electronically monitored at his supervised residence in Florida.
The US Department of Justice announced that this 82-year-old man was charged with one count of possession of child sexual abuse images.
According to the Sibias network, the BBC's business partner in America, the court session lasted 30 minutes, and Courtney Derry, the federal prosecutor, explained the charge against Thomas Markle.
Merkel entered the court sitting in a wheelchair and was accompanied by two US federal agents. He was wearing black pants and a black t-shirt.
