Onassis half-brother facing child porn probe

Police in Oregon say they've found graphic child pornography at the home of the half-brother to the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

The search at the Ashland home of 62-year-old James Auchincloss occurred in October, according to the Ashland Daily Tidings, which first reported the story. No charges have been filed.

Calls by The Associated Press to Auchincloss were not returned.

The newspaper said Auchincloss, who has lived in Ashland since 1995 and serves on the board of Oregon Stage Works, declined to comment on what police found at his home, saying that it was "a matter for the courts."

In an affidavit for a search warrant dated Oct. 17, 2008, Ashland police Detective Arthur LeCours said he found photographs in booklets and on carousel slides of naked 7- to 16-year-old boys in sexual poses at Auchincloss' home.

The affidavit, shared by the Ashland Daily Tidings with the AP, also said police had probable cause to believe that Auchincloss was encouraging child sexual abuse.

Police told the newspaper the case has not been given a high priority because they believe there is no immediate threat.

Contacted by the AP, a police spokeswoman declined to provide any details but confirmed an investigation was "in progress."
