Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, allegedly cut off his monitoring bracelet after being charged with possessing child sexual abuse material, a California prosecutor said, according to the BBC.
“We are asking the court to revoke his release and detain him pending trial, and we will continue to prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law,” First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli wrote on “X” on Tuesday.
Markle, 82, was arrested in Florida last week and placed under house detention at his assisted living facility. He was also ordered to wear a location-monitoring device.
Markle has previously denied allegations that he possessed images of child sexual abuse, calling them “sick lies”.
