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.
Tyler ultimately pleaded guilty to attempted identity theft under a plea agreement. He is reportedly scheduled for another sentencing hearing connected to that case on September 10.
He also faces a September 4 sentencing in Weld County after pleading guilty to misdemeanor child abuse through criminal negligence without injury. That case followed a 2025 incident involving his young son.
TMZ previously reported that Tyler received another child-abuse citation in February 2026 after his toddler allegedly wandered away from Rep. Boebert’s Colorado home. No injury was reported.

He’s off to quite a start in life.
Nine words in, Republican.
Isn’t this one of the hysterical Epstein “scandal” fearmongers?
If he is 21 now, then in 2024 he would have been 19, depending on when his birth date lands.
wasn’t she busted giving her boyfriend a handy in a movie theater?
I absolutely abhor any such activity, but this kind of reads like a 19 year old taking pictures of a 17 year old girlfriend and selling / sharing those pictures, now they are dropping the hammer on him?
Even if it was that it is still wrong. My issue is someone like Biden’s son basically rapes a preteen and the media entirely whitewashes it.
He’s a piece of work.
I never imagine saying that I could feel bad for Bobbit…but thats gotta be tough as a parent.
Boebert. Auto correct is a real prankster some times.
Lauren and her son have nothing to worry about.
I understand there is a new and highly secret AI that will remove all negative information about a person.
That’s what this is, from what I’ve read elsewhere.
This should not be judged in the same way as a 19 y/o messing with a 9 y/o. It’s not at all the same thing.
Yet and still, the young man knew he was under scrutiny, with his petty crimes history and his Mom being so well known.
He must immediately declare he is a democrat. Democrats love their child predators.
Looking at the other child abuse references in this article involving his own son - I wouldn't be surprised if this sexual exploitation charge also involved his own son.
If as other posters have noted he was 19 and the “child” 17 at the time of the incident he is not a child predator.
Any alleged sexual exploitation of his young son would not be classified as a misdemeanor.
VHS or Beta?
And what about the sex crimes of Bill Clinton?! I’m surprised that man isn’t in prison for rape.
I believe so, yes.
