The case originates out of Garfield County in Western Colorado. Tyler Boebert, 21, faces five counts in total: three charges of sexual exploitation of a child and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. All of the charges are felonies and are alleged to have happened in 2024.

The Denver Gazette has requested the arrest affidavit from the Garfield County courts. He was arrested last week by the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office.

This is not the first time Tyler Boebert has had a run-in with the law. He was arrested in 2024 and charged in connection with a string of thefts after he and several friends allegedly broke into cars and stole debit cards, gift cards and cash.

Tyler Boebert is scheduled to appear in Garfield County District Court on Aug. 19 and remains free on a $10,000 bond.

    It’s not like he wanted to sexually exploit children, he’s just trying to join his mom’s party and that’s how that works.

    To join you need to sexually exploit kids, then every step up the ladder you need to do something worse to kids and if you hesitate they threaten to release the videos and images of the things you did on all the previous steps.

    That’s why by the time you hit Congress you’re willing to sit there with tears streaming down your face and vote to confirm a horrible person as the Attorney General knowing they plan to help try to destroy the country. Years of videos and pictures of you raping and maybe killing and eating human children make sure you vote how you’re told to vote.

    Hooray for America!

    He is accused of having sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old girl when he was 18, according to Tyler Boebert’s arrest affidavit

    I understand recording the act turns this into something serious, but I mean come on, it’s an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old, having sex.

      In a vaccum, yeah no big deal, but the next few lines details the real problem.

      The police first began investigating the incident in March 2024 after videos depicting the intercourse were shared publicly on an anonymous Instagram account. Several photos and videos were posted to the Instagram account depicting people having intercourse with minors or depicting minors nude or seminude. One of the videos featured Tyler Boebert.

      Officers with the Silt Police Department, in Garfield County, questioned the girl shown in the video with Tyler Boebert in February 2024, shortly after the video was believed to have been filmed, according to the affidavit. That came after someone reported the Instagram account to police in Silt. The arrest affidavit, which is nearly 50 pages long, details the police’s investigation into the Instagram account and who created it.

      Investigators allege that Tyler Boebert filmed the video and shared it with others and is suspected of creating the Instagram account that featured other explicit videos.
