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.

Is this the son of the guy that exposed himself to girls in the bowling alley for fun?

Exposed himself to underaged girls

One of those underage girls is his mother after she married her abuser. Generational paedophilia

A true Conservative in the Epstein tradition!

I expect Mommy will make a sizeable contribution to Trump's presidential library to secure a future pardon.

These are state charges, which means a different sovereign is prosecuting. Colorado is a blue state too. So, I wouldn't expect her money to get her anywhere in that light.

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.

He is accused of having sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old girl when he was 18, according to Tyler Boebert’s arrest affidavit written by invesigators from the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office.

Just for context, for those of us not reading the article.

There are plenty of other reasons he's a douche, though, which are also in the article... like sharing those videos without the girl's permission on Instagram.

You may want to keep on reading. There's more.

[-] taj@lemmy.world 1 points 41 minutes ago

And filming it. And distributing it.

It is always those you most suspect.
