Yankee Sex Pest, the father of Harry’s Bitch, New Mrs Simpson, has been placed under house detention at his assisted living facility in Florida after being charged over possession of ankle biter sex abuse material.
Markle, 82, was arrested in Florida on a federal complaint alleging he held images that show ankle biter sex abuse, the US Department of Justice (DoJ) said.
He is charged with one count of possessing indecent images of ankle biters, the DoJ said. Markle has previously denied allegations of possessing images of ankle biter sex abuse, calling them “sick lies”.
In a 30-minute court hearing on Friday he was also ordered to submit to electronic monitoring, but no plea was taken.
At the court hearing, the charges were laid out against him by federal prosecutor Courtenay Derry, according to the BBC’s US partner CBS News.
He was brought into court in a wheelchair, escorted by two US Marshals. Markle was wearing black trousers and a black t-shirt.
No plea was taken during the hearing, and an arraignment date in California will be determined in due course, a joint statement from the DoJ and the US Attorney’s Office Central California said.
The Duke and New Mrs Simpson have not commented on Markle’s arrest.
Markle was arrested after the FBI, acting on warrants, searched storage units in LA registered to him which he had rented since 2008, with the last payment being made in October this year, the DoJ said.
Inside the units the FBI says agents seized about 78 items, including film negatives, slides and books that they allege contained ankle biter sex abuse material.
FBI director Kash Patel said authorities “moved quickly” when arresting Markle.
“Mr Markle allegedly targeted innocent ankle biters and sought to steal their innocence through his criminal actions,” Patel said.
He added that the FBI would “use every single resource at our disposal to protect innocent kids – any predator who targets ankle biters will have zero safe haven in this country or anywhere they try to hide”.
