Oran Routh, son of would-be assassin Ryan Routh who was arrested last year for child pornography, was sentenced to 7 years in prison.
“On Friday morning, Oran Routh appeared in federal court for sentencing for a count of possessing child pornography of a child under the age of 12. He pleaded guilty to this charge in exchange for his other charges, which included multiple counts of possessing and transporting child pornography, being dismissed,” WGHP reported.
“The judge sentenced him to 7 years in prison with 5 years of supervised probation,” the outlet reported.
Oran Routh was taken into custody after investigators found hundreds of child porn files on his Galaxy Note during a search of his North Carolina residence last year.
“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, according to ABC News. “These files include videos from a known child pornography series created outside the state of North Carolina.”
Oran previously spoke with the Daily Mail about his father.
Ryan Routh is currently in federal custody on charges of attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate and other firearms violations.
“My dad hates Trump like every reasonable person does.” He even went so far as to say, “I don’t like Trump either,” but in the next breath tried to downplay his father’s actions, claiming, “He’s not a violent person.”
“He’s my dad and all he’s had is couple traffic tickets, as far as I know… That’s crazy. I know my dad and love my dad, but that’s nothing like him.”
“He said he was at the beach, but I thought that meant the outer banks in Hawaii,” Oran said.
The father and son had reportedly had a “falling out,” though Oran declined to elaborate on the reasons.
“I didn’t ask him for more information because we’ve had a falling out. We’ve grown apart.”
Despite their distance, Oran insisted, “He’s not a violent person. He’s a hard worker and a great dad. He’s a great dude, a nice guy and has worked his whole f***king life.”
