Child sexual abuse material alleged in Thomas Markle's Mexico storage unit

Summarised from 2 outlets · 3 reports · Updated 30 Oct, 17:33 · Archive

Child sexual abuse material has allegedly been discovered in a storage unit rented by Thomas Markle Sr. in Rosarito Beach, Mexico. The Daily Mail reportedly gained access to the 5ft by 10ft unit after Markle Sr. failed to keep up with lease payments for two years. According to the outlets, the stash included magazines and books about paedophilia, photographs of naked women, and 35mm negatives showing images of children on a beach.

The discovery comes after Markle Sr.'s son, Thomas Jr., allegedly found hundreds or thousands of child sexual abuse images at his father's home in Cebu City, the Philippines. That material included a 15-minute video allegedly showing children no older than 10 or 11. In January 2019, the Metropolitan Police received a letter containing allegations of 'offending outside the UK' relating to Markle Sr., and the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry were passed the letter 'for their awareness'.

The Daily Mail reported the Mexico discovery to the FBI. Markle Sr., 82, has denied possessing child sexual abuse images, describing the allegations against him as 'sick lies'. When approached for comment, the FBI declined to respond, and representatives for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry did not comment.
