Son Of Trump’s Failed Assassin Arrested For Child Exploitation
Oran Alexander Routh, the son of Ryan Wesley Routh — accused of trying to assassinate President Donald Trump — has been arrested on federal child pornography charges in North Carolina. The arrest follows a search of Routh’s Guilford County home, where federal agents discovered hundreds of explicit files on multiple electronic devices.
The search of Oran Routh’s residence was part of a broader investigation into his father’s alleged assassination attempt on Trump. However, investigators found much more than they expected: two Samsung Galaxy Note devices containing graphic videos involving young children. Routh allegedly engaged in discussions on messaging platforms used for child pornography.
Charged with possession and receipt of child pornography, Oran Routh could face significant prison time. His father, Ryan Routh, is already facing charges for firearms possession after being accused of attempting to kill Trump at his Florida golf course. Prosecutors are also expected to bring further charges against Ryan Routh for his role in the assassination attempt.
The shocking nature of these charges has drawn national attention, especially given the criminal allegations against both father and son. Oran Routh had previously defended his father in interviews, claiming he wasn’t capable of violence, despite his criminal background. Now, both men are caught in legal battles that could have long-lasting consequences.
As the case against Oran Routh unfolds, the disturbing details of both his and his father’s actions are raising questions about how they managed to stay under the radar for so long — and who may have helped them remain under the radar.
