Son Of Trump’s Failed Assassin Arrested On Child Exploitation Charges

Oran Alexander Routh, the son of Ryan Wesley Routh — who allegedly tried to assassinate President Donald Trump — was arrested in North Carolina on child pornography charges. Federal investigators found hundreds of illegal files on electronic devices during a search of Oran Routh’s home in Guilford County, leading to his arrest.

The search was part of a broader investigation into Ryan Routh’s alleged attempt on Trump’s life at a West Palm Beach golf course. While searching Oran’s home, authorities uncovered child pornography, including videos of young children being sexually exploited. Prosecutors have charged Oran Routh with possession and receipt of child pornography, offenses that carry severe penalties.

The arrest comes just days after Ryan Routh, 58, was charged with firearm offenses. He is also under investigation for his alleged assassination attempt on Trump, and prosecutors are expected to pursue further charges. Oran Routh had previously defended his father, calling him non-violent and downplaying his criminal history.

The charges against both father and son have brought heightened scrutiny to the Routh family, especially given Ryan Routh’s past, which includes a standoff with police in North Carolina. As the legal proceedings move forward, the family faces mounting challenges, with both men now facing serious federal charges.
