Oran Routh, the son of the man implicated in the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, has been arrested on federal charges for possessing child sexual abuse images.

The arrest followed an FBI search of his Greensboro, North Carolina, home, initially unrelated to child exploitation. Among seized electronic devices, hundreds of files of child sexual abuse material were discovered, according to court documents. Routh is now facing charges of both possessing and receiving child sexual abuse material.

Routh's father, Ryan Routh, was previously charged with federal gun offenses related to the Trump assassination attempt at a Florida golf course. Prosecutors indicated that more severe attempted assassination charges were imminent. No attorney has been listed for Oran Routh, and attempts to reach him or his family were unsuccessful.
