ASHLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Jamie Auchincloss is well known and well liked in this storybook town for his longtime support of local theater, his videos of Democratic political events, and being the half brother to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
So when authorities announced Tuesday that Auchincloss had been indicted on charges of encouraging child sexual abuse by possessing, duplicating and disseminating child pornography, friends and neighbors rose to defend him.
"I don't think Jamie's a danger to the community," said Amy Welden, a stay-at-home mom who lives in the same quiet cul-de-sac as Auchincloss's landscaped craftsman-style bungalow, said Tuesday after a Jackson County grand jury in Medford indicted him on 25 felony counts.
"We have a child that Jamie's never shown the slightest interest in," she said.
But Eddy McManus, the 44-year-old former personal assistant whose allegations led to the long and highly visible probe, said he felt vindicated by the indictments.
"It's been years of warning him, really," McManus said.
In October, police searched Auchincloss's home and found a large number of graphic images of young boys, according to court documents. When the information was printed in local newspapers, friends like Ragan Cavanaugh and her husband, Gerry, wrote letters supporting Auchincloss.

That's got to be the dumbest defense statement I've ever seen.
“We have a child that Jamie’s never shown the slightest interest in,” she said.
That is a really odd thing to say.

Timing is suspicious, this story will be buried by the msm as usual for these lefto bastards. Overshadowed by the other Kennedy related story floating around out there.
It seems she was disappointed that he didn’t show any interest on her kid.
I was thinking the same thing.
Maybe he could blame the cat.
Yeah, well Ted is dead.
As if he would “show interest” of that sort in front of the child’s parents.
That struck me as weird too.
Camelot! Camelot! I know it sounds a bit bizarre!
This is just icing on the good news of a few hours ago.
All he had to do was ask. :)
Am I the only one that thinks this is not news worthy...Who the he!! cares.......AP must think its a big news item. No wonder they are going broke....
Lots of people disagree with me :O)
“We have a child that Jamie’s never shown the slightest interest in,” she said.
Tht makes one think that they have another child that he has shown an interest in.
BTTT
That is more than my poor mind wants to contemplate, for the sake of a child, although I know that sort of abominable thing does happen.
