Editor’s note: This story has been updated with information from the arrest affidavit and a statement from U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert.

The son of U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert was arrested Sunday on five felony charges, including three counts related to sexual exploitation of a child, following an investigation by the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office.

Tyler Boebert, 21, was arrested on a warrant after a felony review by the 9th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office. Bond was set at $10,000, and Boebert was released from the Garfield County Jail the same day after posting bond.

According to the Garfield County Courthouse, Boebert faces three counts of sexual exploitation of a child. Two are class 3 felonies, including one involving inducing or enticing and another involving possession with intent. The third, involving video, is a class 4 felony.

Boebert also faces two class 4 felony counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

According to a 49-page arrest affidavit, the investigation began after Rifle police received a Safe2Tell report in March 2024 alleging child sexual abuse material had been posted publicly to an anonymous Instagram account. Investigators identified multiple videos and images involving minors, including a video that allegedly showed Boebert, who was 18 at the time, engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl.

Boebert is scheduled to appear in court for an appearance on bond Aug. 19.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, a former Silt resident, served two terms representing Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, including Garfield County, before moving to eastern Colorado and winning the 4th Congressional District seat in 2024.

“I love my son,” Rep. Lauren Boebert said in a statement Monday. “We take allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time.”

The new charges come as Tyler Boebert is also awaiting sentencing in a separate criminal case dating to 2024.

Boebert originally faced 22 charges stemming from a series of vehicle trespass and property theft incidents. He later pleaded guilty to one count of attempted identity theft, a class 5 felony, as part of a plea agreement, with the remaining charges dismissed.

Under the agreement, Boebert received a two-year deferred judgment that would allow him to avoid a felony conviction if he successfully completed probation. The case has since been reopened, according to the Garfield County Courthouse.

Boebert is scheduled for a sentencing hearing in that case Sept. 10.
