Son of Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert arrested, accused of sexual exploitation of a child
Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert's 21-year-old son, Tyler Boebert, was arrested last weekend on suspicion of sexual exploitation of a child and other charges.
The Garfield County Sheriff's Office says the investigation stems from an incident that occurred on New Year's Day in 2024.
Tyler Boebert currently lives in the Town of New Castle, which is located in Garfield County. The GCSO said deputies arrested him on Sunday following an investigation by the sheriff's office and a felony review process by the 9th Judicial District Attorney's Office.
He was booked into the Garfield County Jail and released on a $10,000 bond the same day.
Tyler Boebert is facing charges of:
- Sexual exploitation of a child - induce/entice
- Sexual exploitation of a child - possession with intent
- Sexual exploitation of a child - video
- Two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor
The GCSO says the case remains under investigation.
In a separate case, Tyler Boebert was arrested in February 2024 in connection with a prior investigation into property theft and vehicle trespass.
He pleaded guilty to attempted ID theft and was sentenced to 80 hours of community service, a $1,200 probation fee, and a two year deferred sentence. Last September, the case was reopened, and his counsel filed for revocation of probation. A hearing on the deferred sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 16.
Following his 2024 arrest, Rep. Boebert said, "I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for. It breaks my heart to see my child struggling and, in this situation, especially when he has been provided multiple opportunities to get his life on track."
CBS Colorado has reached out to Boebert for comment about her son's recent arrest and so far hasn't heard back.
