Son of Rep. Lauren Boebert facing charges of sexual exploitation of a child

GARFIELD COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- The son of Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing charges for sexual exploitation of a child plus other related charges, according to court documents obtained by KRDO13.

According to records, Tyler Boebert was arrested on Thursday, Aug. 6, but the alleged crime took place in January of 2024. The Garfield County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) said Boebert's arrest came after an investigation by GCSO and a felony review process by the 9th Judicial District Attorney's Office.

According to Boebert's arrest affidavit obtained by KRDO13, an initial investigation performed by the Rifle Police Department found a video posted to social media of Boebert allegedly having intercourse with a female before she had turned 18.

The affidavit says Boebert was 18 at the time of the alleged offenses. According to the affidavit, Boebert was charged with a class three felony of sexual exploitation of a child, and having "produced, possessed and distributed sexually exploitative material."

He was also charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a class four felony.

His bond was set at $10,000, and he bonded out the same day.

He was also arrested in 2024 in the town of Rifle for a string of property thefts.

Rep. Boebert told KRDO13 in a statement:

"I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time."

Rep. Boebert serves Colorado Congressional District 4, which includes most of the Eastern Plains and parts of the state's Front Range, including parts of El Paso County.
