MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — James Auchincloss — who as a boy carried the wedding train of his half-sister Jackie up the aisle as she married John F. Kennedy — is due in court Wednesday in Medford.

Prosecutors say that following months of negotiations, he will plead guilty to child pornography charges.

Auchincloss was indicted a year ago after his longtime personal assistant, Edward McManus, told investigators he had seen Auchincloss and co-defendant Dennis Vickoren viewing pictures of naked boys in sexual poses at Auchincloss’ home in Ashland.

Prosecutors say the two felony counts are eligible for a sentence of parole, but Auchincloss told The Associated Press he expects to spend time in prison.
