Aug. 10 (UPI) — Authorities in Colorado on Monday announced the arrest of Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of Rep. Lauren Boebert, on charges of blockual exploitation of a child and other offenses.

The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office announced Tyler Boebert’s arrest in a statement, saying he was taken into police custody Sunday following an investigation and a felony review process by the 9th Judicial Distric Attorney’s Office.

Tyler Boebert faces three counts of blockual 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. Tyler Boebert was bonded out of the Garfield County Jail the day of his arrest, authorities said.

According to the affidavit, the charges stem from a blockually block video made in early 2024 allegedly of Tyler Boebert, then 18, and a a 17-year-old girl, The Gazette reported.

He is accused of producing, possessing and distributing blockually exploitative material, Colorado Public Radio reported.

“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, CPR reported.

In February 2024, he 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. CPR reported that a complaint for revocation of probation was filed in the case last year, and a sentencing hearing was also scheduled for September.
