Well well well, looks like the authorities didn’t buy Thomas Markle’s dementia claim. Today, Thomas Markle was arrested in Florida, at a senior living facility. The arrest comes 15 days after his son Thomas Markle Jr. went to the authorities in the Philippines and showed them Senior’s stash of child sex abuse material. Apparently, FBI agents were the ones to arrest Markle Sr.
Meghan Markle’s estranged father, Thomas Markle Sr., has been arrested in Florida for possession of child sexual abuse material … following weeks of disturbing allegations … TMZ has confirmed.
FBI agents arrested the 82-year-old at his senior living facility in Lakeland.
According to the Daily Mail, the bust came after the outlet alerted federal authorities to alleged child sexual abuse material discovered in an abandoned storage unit he rented in Mexico.
As TMZ previously reported … authorities raided the storage unit in Rosarito, Mexico, where investigators reportedly seized computers, thumb drives, VHS tapes and other materials after reports raised concerns about its contents.
Thomas was already under investigation in the Philippines after authorities uncovered thousands of alleged child sexual abuse images linked to his former home.
I’m actually surprised that the FBI arrested him with relative swiftness. Like… they were able to build a case in two weeks? Because from the reporting, it did not sound like the FBI was actually taking this seriously at all. Still, I imagine whatever hacky Florida lawyer Markle hires is going to lean heavily into the dementia defense. We’ll see. But for now, good news.

So the evidence was right there this whole time. They didn’t even have to look that hard for it. He could’ve been arrested years ago, before he moved to the Philippines and God only knows how many more children were victimized. Heads should roll at the Met
The Met? They never had jurisdiction over these crimes.
So what, they don’t have a phone number for the FBI? Or the Federales in Mexico? Please use your brain.
But they were duty bound to forward the letter containing serious allegations to the FBI and/or other relevant foreign law enforcement for those who had jurisdiction to investigate and thus prevent an alleged active predator of children from reoffending.
For some reason, I have been thinking A LOT about that jackass from 2016 who went to the pizza shop, determined that he was going to save the children in the basement who were being trafficked by Hillary (according to his “research” on 4chan).
So much has come out since then and so many of the predators have been revealed to be far right faves (or pets). And so many fakers on the left have been exposed as well.
This is good news. Keep the arrests coming. Keep lancing the boil. There’s more puss to clear out.
It’s seems like pizza gate was thrown out there to have people assume that child trafficking was a crazy conspiracy when the reality is that it was projection for orange monster and other figures linked to Epstein.
That was quick. Jr was being investigated in the Phillipines and I bet he ratted out Toxic Tom for some level of immunity with the feds. I bet the feds are goong to look at his bank records too.
This “man” bullied and tormented Meghan and Harry for years and he slagged off his royal grandchildren. Say hello to karma Bad Dad.
The US dept of Justice is saying that the arrest is to do with 2 storage units in LA that he’d been renting for 20yrs and that they found explicit photos of him with young girls.
So, so far they’ve found evidence in 3 countries: Philippines, Mexico and now the US. JFC!!!!
The Filipino authorities are due to release their initial findings (they said a week or so was needed) so I suspect they have given their preliminary findings to the FBI hence this arrest. Given whats come out about Jr – he might be next.
Of course the Fail and The Sun were there to get their photo opps. The Fail are now claiming it was all their doing because they reported him to the Feds on the unit in Mexico.
Good. Will the DM be paying for his defence attorney?
Good question!
Great new! And its also good to know that despite their attempts, 47’s incompetent sycophants and deviants haven’t completely broken our govt. It seems like law enforcement is arresting pedos every week, most of whom were MAGA. In the immortal words/tweet of Congressman Robert Garcia after Tuesdays stunning election results – “Lawyer up”! And the DM can go to hell.
What a sorry excuse for a human being. Hiding out in a dementia ward. Coward.
I hope the DM and Caroline Graham have to wear this crap for the rest of their lives. And I feel awful for all of the victims with this case.
Exactly they need to be held accountable for financially supporting this lowlife for 8 long years. How much money have they paid him since 2018? Honestly all TV and print media who paid him for interviews need to be held accountable for platforming. Caroline Graham has been very quiet recently. Is she on gardening leave ?
What you said, Chilling.
He’s a piece of human excrement and they should have known it.
I worry there will be an attempt to say the material was compromised both in Mexico and the Philippines. The DM knew about the stuff in Mexico and I read Tom Jr. had shown the Sun the material before contacting the cops. There must be a way to test the photos and other material for tampering. But a clever lawyer……hmmmn.
Woof! Not just investigated, but arrested. So interesting. Somebody is allowing this to happen.
My only question is why did it take so long???
You didn’t need to be Teddy the Detective to figure out that both Thomas Markles, Junior and Senior, are paedophiles. Just the mere fact that they upped sticks and moved to the Philippines, where they were photographed with suspiciously young looking females, should have been a flashing red light.
Then apparently Cebu, where they moved to, is a notorious child sex abuse and trafficking hotspot.
Then the past allegations regarding Tom Markle Sr travelling to Thailand and liking Asian women, not to mention the damming Roslyn Loveless letter which was bizarrely ignored.
Then I’m sorry but you take one look at these two men, and if ever there was a paedo look, they 100% have it. Andrew M-W has it too if you ask me, even in a suit. As do many (but of course not all) Epstein abusers.
So why the hell didn’t anyone act sooner???
I’m guessing the reason Tom Jr went public so fast was because he already knew he was a person of interest in the Philippines and with the FBI, and the FBI has been looking into allegations for longer than 2 weeks.
Now, do Andrew Mountbatten next
I second this.
Unfortunately, the FBI can’t arrest that SOB and he’s not going to leave England where he’s much safer from justice.
I wish! I am not going to be holding my breath though.
If Caroline Graham and the DM are held accountable for their actions and support of this degenerate, I will have some hope but I fear this will never happen. The British media have a lot to answer for this. They have encouraged and enabled this.
Don’t be surprised if Tom Sr starts throwing EVERYONE under the bus, and tells the world how the Daily Mail financed and facilitated his abuses against Meghan.
Accidents happen.
Markle ‘allegedly targeted innocent children’, says FBI director

FBI director Kash Patel says authorities “moved quickly” in the arrest of Thomas Markle.
In a statement, Patel says: “Mr. Markle allegedly targeted innocent children and sought to steal their innocence through his criminal actions.”
FBI agents worked with the US Department of Justice and “moved quickly, identified and located the explicit material, and arrested Mr. Markle in Florida”, he says.
Patel adds: “This FBI will use every single resource at our disposal to protect innocent kids – any predator who targets children will have zero safe haven in this country or anywhere they try to hide.”
Such quick action once FBI got involved. It is so heartbreaking to realise that if MET had acted properly and diligently back when they received the allegations years ago and forwarded them to FBI to investigate, TMarkle would have been arrested much earlier.
The FBI rarely moves quickly. They will let people continue to break the law for years and watch them and collect evidence until they have a rock solid case. I suspect the FBI has been on notice re: Markle for years but Markle wasn’t living in the U.S. so they couldn’t collect evidence on him and ultimately arrest him.
I read on SM that Scammy had a 3 hour visit with daddy dearest yesterday and stopped posting about this on social media. She was covering herself in a shawl trying to go “incognito” probably after calling the paps herself.
This all couldn’t happen to a nicer set of people.
