Lauren Boebert’s son is one of a group of men facing serious felony charges.
Tyler Boebert already accepted a plea deal on child abuse charges but is also on the hook for allegedly exploiting a minor.
It sounds like the distribution of the video — allegedly sending it to others — is what got him caught.
He’s facing a string of other criminal allegations and is already looking down the barrel at multiple sentencing hearings.
Lauren Boebert’s 21-year-old son is accused of filming and sharing CSAM
Tyler Boebert is facing three counts of exploitation of a child and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Sexually explicit pictures were posted to Instagram and circulated online in 2024.
Interestingly, Tyler appeared pro se in court — without an attorney, representing himself.
If convicted, he could face up to 12 years in prison on each of the charges.
When he appeared at the Garfield County Combined Courts in Colorado, the judge enjoined him from contacting two parties but allowed him to otherwise return home and to continue working.
According to law enforcement, Tyler allegedly filmed a 43-second video with his then-underage girlfriend.
He was 18 at the time. His girlfriend was 17. Even when sexual intercourse is perfectly legal and appropriate, minors should not appear on camera during this time — particularly when filmed by an adult.
(There is no discernible difference between a naked photo that a 16-year-old snapped themselves and that a 50-year-old predator snapped of a 16-year-old, so none of it can be allowed to circulate online.)
The video, though child sex-abuse material, was recorded just two weeks prior to her birthday. It likely would not have been an issue for anyone had it remained private.
When the girl’s ex-boyfriend received a copy of the video, she went to the police.
Tyler Boebert, Rep. Lauren Boebert’s oldest son, has been arrested on charges of sexual exploitation of a child, according to the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office.

Even before this, Tyler was in a world of trouble
Tyler is scheduled to appear in court for a new hearing on September 10.
He was already to appear before a judge that day for sentencing an unrelated 2024 criminal case.
That case involved a series of vehicle trespass and property theft incidents.
It is unclear if that sentencing will be rescheduled. It is also not the only legal trouble that he’s in.
Tyler is also awaiting sentencing after accepting a plea deal on charges of child abuse and negligence without injury.
According to authorities, Tyler Boebert’s baby was found wandering around a neighborhood in July of 2025.
Apparently, this was not even the first incident. Just weeks earlier, prosecutors accused, the child was “wandering around” wearing only a diaper.
Thankfully, a neighbor came to the rescue.
Prosecutors have asked the court to sentence Tyler to a maximum of 30 days in jail and to 12 months of supervised probation. They also want him to be ordered to take a proper parenting program.
It’s probably useful to remember that Tyler is not the only extremely young parent in his family. Lauren Boebert was born in 1986 and she is already a grandmother.
That explains why she acts a little like you’d imagine one of the worse Teen Mom stars ended up on Congress. It’s not an excuse — not for Lauren and not for Tyler. But it might explain why neither of them had a decent chance at being a good person or a good parent.
