Sources: Meghan Markle’s father arrested in Florida on suspicion of possessing child sexual abuse material

Meghan Markle's father has been arrested in Florida on suspicion of possessing child sexual abuse material, sources familiar with the matter told AP and CBS News.

According to sources, Thomas Markle, who has previously denied any wrongdoing, is being held in custody in Tampa. The investigation into the 82-year-old Markle is shrouded in secrecy, CBS reports.

His daughter Meghan Markle, who is married to Britain's Prince Harry, said when the allegations became known in late October that she was "deeply shaken by the news that has come to light."
