Oran Routh, the son of a man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump, has been arrested on child pornography charges. According to prosecutors, Routh was found in possession of “hundreds” of illegal files. 
The shocking discovery has sparked outrage and concern. Authorities reported that Routh had been under investigation for some time before they executed a search warrant at his residence, uncovering a trove of explicit content. The exact nature of the material remains part of the ongoing investigation, but officials have confirmed that it involves minors. 
The case has drawn national attention due to Routh’s connection to his father’s infamous attempt on the former president’s life. While his father’s actions were motivated by political extremism, Routh’s criminal charges appear unrelated to any political motives.
Routh is currently being held without bail and is expected to face trial in the coming months. If convicted, he could face decades in prison for these serious offenses. Prosecutors are preparing to bring the full weight of the law against him in what they describe as an “egregious violation of the safety and innocence of children.”
