Lauren Boebert Defends Son Tyler After Child Abuse Allegations
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Representative Lauren Boebert's eldest son, Tyler, was cited on July 11 and is facing a misdemeanor charge of child abuse. However, a statement from Boebert, a Colorado Republican, shared with Newsweek read in part that the event stemmed from a "miscommunication" and that Child Protective Services (CPS) had met with the family. The congresswoman's statement also said there was no injury or physical abuse involved. The misdemeanor charge was reported by the Colorado outlet Westword, citing records obtained from the Windsor Police Department, which the outlet said were confirmed by the Weld County District Attorney's office. Newsweek has reached out to the Windsor Police Department and Weld County District Attorney's office via email for confirmation. Why It Matters The congresswoman's son was arrested in late February 2024 following a "string of vehicle trespass and property thefts in Rifle." He, along with three friends (the three friends were minors and Tyler Boebert was 18 at the time), were accused of stealing credit cards and other items from parked cars. Tyler plead guilty to one count of identity theft with the intent to obtain an item of value. He was sentenced to a two-year deferred sentence, in addition to 80 hours of community service and pay court costs. The other charges were dropped as part of his plea deal. He had previously faced 22 charges including four felony counts of "criminal possession ID documents - multiple victims," as well as one felony count of "conspiracy to commit a felony." What To Know Westword reported that according to a court summons, the charge Tyler is facing is criminal negligence where no death or injury occurred. Details that led to the criminal citation were not available to the public as of press time. In a statement shared with Newsweek, Boebert said, "Tyler has been doing a great job getting his life on track as a father and citizen over the past year; unfortunately, this event stems from a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house." Tyler has one child, a son who was born in June 2023. The police report is not a matter of public record, Westword reported citing the Weld County District Attorney's office. No documents have been filed with the court beyond the July 11 summons which was provided to Westword by the Windsor police. Tyler still has a year left of his probation, following his previous legal troubles. It is currently unclear if his citation breaches his probationary term. Last year, following her son's arrest, Boebert shared a statement with Newsweek which read in part: "I love my son Tyler, who has been through some very difficult, public challenges for a young man and the subject of attention that he didn't ask for. As an adult and father, Tyler will take responsibility for his actions and should be held accountable for poor decisions just like any other citizen."

Rep. Lauren Boebert's troubled eldest son Tyler charged with child abuse: report
Rep. Lauren Boebert's troubled eldest son has been charged with child abuse following an incident involving her grandson, according to a police report. Tyler, the 20-year-old son of the Republican congresswoman and her ex-husband, Jayson, was slapped with the misdemeanor charge in Colorado on July 11, Denver Westword reported Saturday, citing Windsor Police Department records. Rep. Boebert downplayed the charge, saying it was the result of 'a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house,' according to the site.

In September 2022, Tyler flipped his father's SUV while driving, leaving his passenger with multiple concussions and sever lacerations, according to reports. He was ticketed for careless driving, but the case was eventually dropped down to a 'defective vehicle for headlights' ticket under a plea deal with Garfield County prosecutors. In January 2024, Tyler called the police and said his father was assaulting him at their home. Advertisement 3 Lauren Boebert walks in the Capitol Building on July 2, 2025.

At the time of the most recent incident, Tyler was serving a 24-month probation after pleading guilty to attempting to commit identity theft in October 2024. The guilty plea was negotiated with officials after he was arrested on 22 criminal charges, including five felonies, for his role in a string of thefts around Colorado in February 2024. One of his victims was a 33-year-old woman who was saving up for brain surgery and left with nothing after the robbery, she claimed in a lawsuit. Tyler had made a sex tape with one of his female accomplices and distributed the video to another person in the theft ring, another lawsuit claimed. Part of his probation required Boebert to complete 80 hours of community service and he was banned from using controlled substances, Westword reported. Advertisement It is unclear if the misdemeanor charge violates his probation order. Tyler Boebert is scheduled to appear in Weld County Court for the child abuse charge on Sept. 8.

City commissioner in Florida asked 12-year-old Illinois girl for nudes, cops say
An elected official in Florida is facing two dozen felony charges after a mom in Illinois reported he had been sexting her 12-year-old daughter over Snapchat, authorities said. St. Lucie County Sheriff Richard Del Toro Jr. announced July 24 that law enforcement conducted a traffic stop on Fort Pierce City Commissioner James Taylor, 38, and took him into custody. His arrest marks the culmination of a nearly yearlong investigation that began in August 2024 when the victim's mom filed a report with the Evanston Police Department, the sheriff said in a news conference. The mom of the now-13-year-old girl said a man had been inappropriately contacting her daughter over Snapchat beginning when she was 12, according to investigators. He sent her nude images of himself and asked her to do the same, Del Toro said. This went on for a couple months, investigators said. Detectives in Illinois traced the messages to a person in St. Lucie County and contacted the sheriff's office, which confirmed the suspect's IP address belonged to Taylor, the sheriff said. Investigators don't believe Taylor and the girl ever met in person. Taylor was pulled over during a traffic stop involving a 'ruse,' and was cooperating with detectives, according to the sheriff. 'I would say that he admitted his role in these and was very remorseful, obviously, I think mainly because he was caught,' Del Toro said. Taylor was elected Fort Pierce's District 2 commissioner in 2024 after serving on the county's planning and zoning commission for nearly a decade, according to his commissioner biography. He's involved in several local organizations, including the county's education board and theater advisory board. 'The City of Fort Pierce is aware of the recent arrest of Commissioner James Taylor,' a spokesperson for the city told McClatchy News in an email. 'We understand that this development may raise concerns within our community, and we want to reassure our residents that we remain committed to serving the public with integrity, transparency and accountability.' The 24 charges against Taylor include: transmission of materials harmful to minors by electronic equipmenttransfer or display of obscenity to a minorharmful communication to a minorlewd computer solicitationlewd computer solicitation of a child solicitation of transmission of child pornography by electronic device or equipment. Law enforcement officers are investigating whether there could be additional victims and ask anyone with information to come forward. Fort Pierce is about a 65-mile drive north from West Palm Beach.
