Oran Routh, the son of the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Trump, was arrested on federal charges of child pornography possession.

According to ABC News, investigators said Routh had “hundreds” of files with child pornography during a search of his North Carolina residence.

“The two charges he faces include receipt of child pornography and possession of child pornography,” ABC News stated.

Per ABC News:

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.”

The complaint included graphic descriptions of the videos and a chat from July in which Oran Routh allegedly responded to someone advertising the content for sale.
