Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of U.S. Representative Lauren Boebert, has reportedly agreed to a plea deal in a child abuse case that could result in a 30-day jail sentence. The agreement with the Weld County District Attorney's Office addresses charges of child abuse and negligence without injury, stemming from an incident in February where his two-year-old son was allegedly left unattended at the congresswoman's Windsor, Colorado home.
As part of the proposed deal, prosecutors are recommending a maximum of 30 days in jail, followed by 12 months of supervised probation. A parenting program has also been requested for Tyler Boebert. His son, Josiah, was reportedly found wandering away from the family home near a lake.
Colorado Representative Boebert stated at the time of the initial charges that there was "no excuse" for her son's actions and expressed frustration. She noted that a neighbor had quickly and safely secured the child, and authorities were contacted as a precaution.
This is not the first time Tyler Boebert has faced accusations of leaving his son unattended. In July 2025, he was charged with criminal negligence after his son was again found to have left the grandmother's house. Tyler Boebert became a grandfather at age 36 when his son Josiah was born in June 2023.
Beyond the child abuse charges, Tyler Boebert is also facing three separate counts of sexual exploitation of a child, including a video charge, according to Colorado court records from August 6. These charges are reportedly linked to a video he is accused of recording involving himself and a 17-year-old girl, which authorities have classified as child sexual abuse material. The video was allegedly filmed on February 1, 2024, when Tyler Boebert was 18 and the girl was 17. The girl reportedly alerted police to the video the following day after her ex-boyfriend received a copy. Her mother later informed authorities that the video had been posted on Instagram.
He has also been charged with two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Following his arrest on these charges, Representative Boebert released a statement saying, "I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time."
Tyler Boebert was released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Garfield County District Court on August 19. He has not yet entered a plea for the sexual exploitation charges. The Daily Mail has reached out to Representative Boebert's office and the Weld County District Attorney's Office for comment on the reported plea deal.
