跟进：FBI在佛州逮捕梅根之父托马斯·马可：司法部指其储物柜藏儿童性虐待材料
洛杉矶——美国司法部11月6日宣布，联邦调查局当天在佛罗里达州逮捕了82岁的托马斯·韦恩·马可（Thomas Wayne Markle）——他是萨塞克斯公爵夫人梅根的父亲。司法部称，马可被控一项持有儿童色情物品罪名；检方指控他把儿童性虐待材料（CSAM）、包括据称是他本人与未成年女童的性露骨照片，存放在洛杉矶地区两间他租用了近20年的储物柜中。
马可现居佛罗里达州莱克兰（Lakeland），预计6日当天在佛州中区联邦地区法院坦帕法庭首次出庭。司法部说，联邦探员在搜查两间储物柜时查扣了约78件物品，包括幻灯片、胶片底片与书籍，其中含有疑似儿童性虐待材料。司法部强调，刑事起诉书仅载有指控，被告在被依法证明有罪之前推定无罪；若罪名成立，马可面临最高20年的联邦监禁。
联邦首席助理检察官比尔·埃赛利（Bill Essayli）表示：「马可先生被指控持有儿童性虐待材料，包括其本人与未成年女童合影的照片。这些指控极其严重，我们将以联邦法律所允许的最严厉程度起诉马可先生。」联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔（Kash Patel）表示，FBI及其合作伙伴在调查发现马可持有儿童性虐待材料后将其逮捕，案件由联邦调查局负责侦办。
据起诉书所附宣誓书，执法部门2026年10月获悉，有人签署宣誓书，称在马可位于菲律宾的物品中发现疑似儿童性虐待材料。本站此前报道，菲律宾方面已就其在宿务住所被指发现的材料展开调查，梅根10月曾发声称自己2018年已知情、为保护子女已与父亲断绝往来；马可本人此前曾否认相关指控，称其为不实之词。（来源：美国司法部）

Follow-Up: FBI Arrests Meghan's Father Thomas Markle in Florida: DOJ Alleges Child Sexual Abuse Material in His Storage Units
Los Angeles — The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Friday, November 6, that the FBI had arrested Thomas Wayne Markle, 82 — the father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex — in Florida. Markle is charged with one count of possession of child pornography. Prosecutors allege he kept child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including sexually explicit photographs said to depict himself with prepubescent girls, in two Los Angeles-area storage units he had rented for nearly two decades.
Markle, who lives in Lakeland, Florida, was expected to make his initial appearance on Friday in U.S. District Court in Tampa, in the Middle District of Florida. During searches of the two storage units, FBI agents seized approximately 78 items, including slides, film negatives and books containing suspected CSAM, the Justice Department said. A criminal complaint merely contains allegations, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; if convicted, Markle faces a statutory maximum of 20 years in federal prison.
'Mr. Markle is accused of possessing child sexual abuse material, including photographs depicting himself with minor girls,' said First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli. 'These allegations are extremely serious, and we will prosecute Mr. Markle to the fullest extent of federal law.' FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI and its partners arrested Markle after an FBI investigation revealed he was in possession of CSAM; the FBI is investigating the case.
According to an affidavit filed with the complaint, law enforcement learned in October 2026 that an individual had signed an affidavit describing the discovery of suspected CSAM among Markle's possessions in the Philippines. GSM previously reported that Philippine authorities opened an investigation into material allegedly found at his home in Cebu, and that Meghan said in October she had known since 2018 and had cut ties with her father to protect her children. Markle has previously denied the allegations, calling them untrue. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
