Thomas Markle’s mugshot released to the public amid child abuse material charges

Thomas Markle Sr, Meghan’s father, has been returned to custody after prosecutors alleged he cut off his ankle monitor while on bail. A judge granted the request to revoke his bail, saying he had tampered with the device and that his living arrangements had become untenable.

Markle denies the charges, which relate to alleged child abuse material found in a storage unit near his former home in the Philippines. Authorities reportedly recovered about 78 items, including negatives, slides and books. The judge said he could be released from custody if suitable accommodation for home detention is found.
