  "summary": "U.S. authorities have jailed Thomas Markle, 82, after he violated his release conditions by removing an electronic ankle monitor. Markle, the father of Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, was arrested and charged with possession of child sexual abuse material. He appeared in a federal court in Tampa, Florida, and was subsequently jailed. The seizure of approximately 78 items, including suspected child sexual abuse images, led to his arrest. U.S. Magistrate Judge Lindsay Griffin ordered Markle to remain in custody until his case is resolved. It remains to be seen where Markle will be held while awaiting transfer to California.",
