Oregon prosecutors say James Auchincloss, half brother of the late Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, will plead guilty next week to child pornography charges.
Jackson County Deputy District Attorney David Hoppe said Friday that Auchincloss will appear in court Wednesday in Medford.
Hoppe said Auchincloss will plead guilty to two felony counts of encouraging child sex abuse, a charge that is generally brought against people possessing child pornography.
Auchincloss was indicted a year ago after his longtime personal assistant, Edward McManus, told investigators he saw Auchincloss and a co-defendant, Dennis Vickoren, viewing pictures of naked boys in sexual poses at Auchincloss' home.
Vickoren also is scheduled to plead guilty.
Calls from The Associated Press to defense attorney Carl Caplan, Auchincloss and Vickoren were not immediately returned.
