Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert, is back in legal hot water—this time facing serious felony charges related to the alleged sexual exploitation of a child.
According to court records from Garfield County, Colorado, Tyler Boebert was arrested in connection with five felony counts stemming from an alleged incident dated around January 1, 2024.
The charges include sexual exploitation of a child, sexual exploitation of a child with intent to deal in, sell, or distribute sexually exploitative material, a related charge involving videotaped material, and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Denver Post.
He was taken into custody and released from Garfield County jail on Sunday after posting a $10,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for August 19 in Garfield County District Court. Specific details from the arrest affidavit have not been made public.
Rep. Boebert issued a brief statement to The Daily Mail, stating, “I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time.”
This is hardly Tyler Boebert’s first encounter with law enforcement.
In February 2024, he was arrested following a string of vehicle break-ins and property thefts around Rifle, Colorado. Police initially accused him of offenses involving stolen credit cards, identification documents and several juvenile accomplices.
