# Legal proceedings against Tyler Boebert > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/legal-proceedings-against-tyler-boebert > Updated: 2026-09-10T17:33:48.000Z. Sources: 47. Developments: 5. Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert, faces multiple felony charges in Garfield County, Colorado, related to the sexual exploitation of a child. The investigation stems from reports of sexually explicit content posted to Instagram, specifically involving a 43-second video allegedly recorded in early 2024 involving a 17-year-old girl. The charges include sexual exploitation involving inducement or enticement, possession with intent to distribute, and the use of video, alongside two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Following his arrest on August 9, 2026, Boebert was released from the Garfield County Jail after posting a $10,000 bond. During a court appearance on August 19, 2026, 9th Judicial District Court Judge Elise Myer issued a mandatory protection order prohibiting Boebert from contacting or harassing the protected parties. In a separate Weld County case involving misdemeanor child abuse without injury, Boebert was sentenced to at least 20 nights in a work release program at the Weld County jail. This case pertains to a 2025 incident where his toddler son was found wandering unattended near a busy road and a body of water. On September 10, 2026, Judge Myer revoked a deferred judgment related to Boebert’s February 2024 guilty plea for attempted identity theft. The revocation followed Boebert’s guilty plea to the misdemeanor child abuse in Weld County. Consequently, Boebert was sentenced to two years of supervised probation and 20 days in jail with work release. During the hearing, Representative Boebert requested mercy for her son, while Boebert apologized to the victims and the community. The court noted that the pending Garfield County sexual exploitation charges were not factored into this specific sentencing as he is presumed innocent. ## Claims - Tyler Boebert pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor child abuse without injury.
