Us also reported after viewing legal documents filed on Friday, November 6, that Thomas’ second arrest occurred just four days after he was ordered to undergo a psych evaluation after his team claimed he was not mentally competent enough to stand trial.
Thomas was first taken into federal custody in Florida on Friday, charged with one count of possession of child pornography. Prosecutors allege that he had been keeping child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in storage containers that he rented in the Los Angeles area for the past two decades. Thomas was released later on Friday after posting bond.
Authorities seized approximately 78 items while investigating the case, spanning slides, film negatives and books.

Meghan, 45, said in a statement to Us following news of Thomas’ son, Thomas Markle Jr., telling The Sun newspaper that he had discovered materials depicting child sexual abuse in storage boxes in his father’s Phillipines home, that she was “distressed” by the ordeal.
“I am deeply distressed at the news that has come to light in the last 24 hours, and my thoughts are with any children who may have been harmed,” the Duchess of Sussex stated. “In 2018, a letter was sent to the Metropolitan Police and Royalty and Specialist Protection. That letter was subsequently shared with me. It made troubling and disturbing allegations against my father and I was given assurances that these were being investigated.”

She concluded at the time, “I hope it can now be understood that, despite certain media publications’ distortion over the years, any distance from my father and my choice to not allow him to have contact with our children was for one reason: to protect them. I trusted that the authorities were doing the same for other families.
