Investigation began after report about Instagram account posting teen videos
The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado announced the arrest of Tyler Boebert, 21, on Monday, saying he was taken into police custody Sunday. The arrest followed an investigation and a felony review process by the 9th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Tyler Boebert faces three counts of sexual exploitation of a child and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, The Denver Gazette reported. Bond was set at $10,000, and authorities said he was bonded out of the Garfield County Jail the day of his arrest.
According to the affidavit, the charges stem from a sexually explicit video allegedly made in early 2024 involving Tyler Boebert, then 18, and a 17-year-old girl, The Denver Gazette reported. He is accused of producing, possessing, and distributing sexually exploitative material, Colorado Public Radio reported.
The investigation began following a report about an Instagram account that posted videos of teens ranging from 14 to 18 engaging in sexual activity, Colorado Public Radio reported. One of the videos was allegedly of Tyler Boebert and the 17-year-old girl.
“I love my son,” Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., said in a statement to media on Monday. “We take allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time.”
This is at least the third time Tyler Boebert has been arrested. In July 2025, he was arrested and charged with misdemeanor child abuse in connection with an incident involving his son. He entered a guilty plea and is scheduled to be sentenced next month, Colorado Public Radio reported.
In February 2024, Tyler Boebert was arrested on multiple felony charges on accusations of stealing money with the use of credit and bank cards stolen from vehicles in Colorado. He pleaded guilty and received a deferred sentence plus community service and probation. Colorado Public Radio reported that a complaint for revocation of probation was filed in the case last year, and a sentencing hearing was also scheduled for September.
