The Story in Brief
Tyler Boebert, 21, son of US Representative Lauren Boebert, was arrested on Sunday in Garfield County, Colorado, on three felony counts of child sexual exploitation and two misdemeanour counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The charges include inducing or enticing a child, possession with intent, and video exploitation. He was released after posting a $10,000 bond. His next court appearance is set for August 19.
This is not Tyler's first brush with the law. He faces separate sentencing in September for a February 2024 vehicle theft arrest and a child abuse conviction from 2025. Lauren Boebert said in a statement: 'I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously.' Meanwhile, social media users have revived the congresswoman's 2023 ejection from a Beetlejuice show for disruptive behaviour.
The Indian Opinion
The temptation to weaponise a parent's public missteps against a child's alleged crimes is unfair. Lauren Boebert's 2023 theatre disruption is irrelevant to the grave charges her son Tyler faces. Equally, deflecting blame onto the mother for an adult son's actions oversimplifies justice. The courts will test the evidence, not Twitter's memory. Watch the August 19 hearing and September sentencing for clarity.
