The U.S. Justice Department reported that Markle was suspected of storing child sexual abuse images (CSAM) in two warehouse locations in the Los Angeles area, which she had rented for approximately 20 years. Investigators seized approximately 78 items, including slides, films and books, some of which allegedly included Markle herself and underage girls. Philippines and Mexico are also involved in this matter. Markle lived in Cebu, Philippines and reportedly returned to the United States earlier this year. Related objects have been found at various places.
As of November 10, the final verdict has not yet been issued, and the progress of the court proceedings and cross-border investigation still remains to be seen.
