Thomas Markle, the father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has allegedly cut off his monitoring bracelet after being charged over possession of child sex abuse material, a California prosecutor says.
"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," Fist 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 of possessing images of child sex abuse, calling them "sick lies".
