菲律宾宿务警方已获得法院搜查令，准备对从萨塞克斯公爵夫人梅根·马克尔之父、82岁的托马斯·马克尔（老）位于菲律宾的前住所中查获的电子设备进行技术检查 1。此前有报道称，在其住所发现了数百张涉嫌儿童性虐待的图片 1。上周，托马斯·马克尔（小）向警方移交了四个箱子，内含电脑、手机、硬盘及旧录像带等物品 1。
尽管托马斯·马克尔（老）强烈否认指控，将其称为“病态谎言”，但相关调查仍在推进 1。他去年因中风移居菲律宾，目前腿部已截肢，现居于美国佛罗里达的一家康复中心 1。宿务地区检察官 Graeme Elmido 表示，托马斯·马克尔（小）坚持要求调查此案 1。警方指出，需先确定材料来源才能考虑刑事指控 1。
据《太阳报周日版》报道，托马斯·马克尔（老）的前妻 Roslyn Loveless 曾就2019年的指控致函伦敦警察厅，并将该信件分享给公爵夫妇 1。梅根·马克尔于周五发表声明，证实了相关信件的存在，并表示深感悲痛：“我的心与可能受到伤害的孩子同在” 1。她同时在声明中确认已切断与父亲的联系，解释原因并表示不允许父亲接触自己的孩子 1。
Philippine police have obtained a court warrant to examine electronic devices seized from the former residence of Thomas Markle Sr. in Cebu, following reports that hundreds of images suspected of depicting child sexual abuse were discovered at the property 1. The 82-year-old father of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is currently residing in the United States and has firmly denied the allegations, dismissing them as "sick lies" 1.
The investigation intensified after Thomas Markle Jr. handed over four boxes containing computers, mobile phones, hard drives, and old video tapes to police last week 1. Graeme Elmido, the regional prosecutor in Cebu, stated that Thomas Markle Jr. insisted on pursuing the case 1. According to The Sunday Sun, Markle’s ex-wife, Roslyn Loveless, had previously written to the Metropolitan Police in London regarding claims made in 2019 and shared this correspondence with the Duke and Duchess 1.
Meghan Markle issued a statement on Friday confirming the existence of the letters and expressing deep distress, saying her heart goes out to any children who might have been harmed 1. She explained her decision to cut ties with her father and confirmed that she does not allow him contact with her children 1. Police indicated that criminal charges will only be considered once they establish the provenance of the seized materials 1. Markle, who moved to the Philippines after suffering a stroke last year, is now staying in a rehabilitation center in Florida where his leg has been amputated 1.
