U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) called it a "challenging time" after her son Tyler Boebert was charged with five felony counts of child sexual exploitation. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time," Lauren Boebert told the Daily Mail. Tyler Boebert had previously been charged with child abuse in July 2025 after his toddler son got out of the congresswoman's home, Westword reported. "A kind woman quickly and safely secured him, and authorities were called as a precaution," Lauren Boebert said at the time. Lauren Boebert is reportedly expected to testify on Tyler Boebert's behalf at both September hearings, according to American Muckrakers.
