Oran Routh, the son of the suspected would-be Trump Assasin Ryan Routh, has been arrested on federal charges of possessing child pornography.
Investigators reported they found hundreds of files of child pornography during a search of Oran Routh’s residence in North Carolina.
Authorities executed a search warrant at Oran Routh’s residence “in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation.”
In a criminal complaint, prosecutors wrote, “A review of the SD card located in Device-1 revealed that it contained hundreds of child pornography files.”
“These files include videos from a known child pornography series created outside the state of North Carolina,” added prosecutors.

Here was what ABC News reported:
The son of Ryan Routh, the man arrested in connection with the second apparent assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump, has been taken into custody on federal charges of possessing child pornography.
Investigators say they discovered “hundreds” of files with child pornography during a search of Oran Routh’s residence in Guilford County, North Carolina, on Saturday conducted “in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation.”
The two charges he faces include receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography.
The “unrelated investigation” referred to Routh’s father — who remains in custody after a judge ordered him detained pending trial Monday — a spokesperson with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Carolina confirmed to ABC News.
Investigators said the pornography was found on a Samsung Galaxy Note device located inside Oran Routh’s primary bedroom in the residence, as well as another Galaxy Note device in Routh’s possession.
“A review of the SD card located in Device-1 revealed that it contained hundreds of child pornography files,” prosecutors wrote in the criminal complaint. “These files include videos from a known child pornography series created outside the state of North Carolina.”

Per The New York Post:
The son of alleged would-be Donald Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh was arrested Tuesday morning on child pornography charges after the feds found hundreds of sick images when they searched his phone following his dad’s arrest.
Oran Routh, 35, is accused in a North Carolina federal court of receiving and possessing child porn — a fact which the feds discovered on Sept. 21 when they were searching his Greensboro home in connection to a separate investigation, according to a criminal complaint.
Oran is the son of Ryan Routh, who is accused of trying to kill the former president while he was golfing at his club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sept. 15.
