Police issue 'we will not let anybody do this to our children' warning as Meghan Markle's father faces abuse images investigation

Key points

  • Philippine police say they will not allow anyone to harm children, as they examine alleged child sexual abuse images linked to belongings handed over by Thomas Markle Jr. The images were allegedly found in possessions of his father, Thomas Markle Sr, who lives in Cebu City and is under investigation.
  • Thomas Markle Sr has denied all allegations and has not been charged. Investigators are working out who downloaded the files, and whether any offences fall under United States or Mexican jurisdiction.
  • An initial forensic examination could take about a week, though the investigation may continue for much longer.
