Meghan Markle's Father Denies Child Sex Allegations, Admits to Paying for Sex

Thomas Markle Sr., the estranged father of Meghan Markle, has vehemently denied allegations of child sex abuse, asserting he has never engaged in such activities. The denials come as the Cebu City Police Office in the Philippines investigates claims that child sexual abuse material was discovered in his home.

Reports from The Sun indicate that the material allegedly includes a 15-minute video of child pornography featuring children no older than age 10 or 11, found on an LG mobile phone. One photograph reportedly shows a man resembling Thomas Markle Sr. with a young Asian girl.

"I have never had sex with anyone under the age of 18," Markle Sr. stated in an interview with the Daily Mail On Sunday. He also admitted to having "slept with prostitutes" when he was single and had traveled to the Philippines on at least two occasions, adding, "I like Asian women but that is not a crime."

Markle Sr., 82, refuted the authenticity of the photograph, telling the Daily Mail, "I have never been in a photograph like that." He expressed shock and hurt over the accusations, calling them "sick lies" and asserting that he could never commit such acts.

The investigation was reportedly initiated after Markle Sr.'s son, Thomas Markle Jr., allegedly discovered "hundreds, if not thousands" of child sexual abuse images in four boxes at their father's home in Cebu. Thomas Sr. dismissed these claims as "bullshit" and "a bunch of lies."
