Thomas Markle has denied child sex abuse allegations that emerged in the Philippines.
Thomas Markle Sr, 82, has denied child sex abuse allegations after the Cebu City Police Office in the Philippines announced it is investigating him over child sexual abuse material allegedly discovered at his home. He admitted to the Daily Mail that he had 'slept with prostitutes' when he was single and travelled to the Philippines at least twice, noting that he likes 'Asian women but that is not a crime'.
According to reports, the alleged material includes a 15-minute video of child pornography on a mobile phone featuring children no older than ten or eleven. The New York Post reports that one image allegedly shows a bearded man resembling Markle having sex with a young Asian girl, though Markle denied ever being in such a photograph.
Markle told the Daily Mail he is 'shocked, hurt and very upset' and that he 'could never do what I'm being accused of'. The Daily Mail reports that his son, Thomas Markle Jr, allegedly discovered 'hundreds, if not thousands' of child sexual abuse images in four boxes at his father's home.
