Authorities have also brought separate felony-level accusations tied to a video Tyler is alleged to have filmed at age 18 with a then-underage girlfriend. Those counts include three felonies — involving inducement or enticement, possession with intent and a charge connected to the video — plus two misdemeanor counts for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The plea for the child-abuse count appears to be handled separately from these allegations.
Lauren Boebert has characterized the child-abuse arrest as stemming from a miscommunication about who was watching the child, saying no injury occurred and that the family met with Child Protective Services. Tyler previously faced a slate of 2024 charges — about 22 counts including vehicle break-ins, theft and felony ID-related offenses — and pleaded guilty to one count of attempted identity theft in a prior plea that resulted in two years’ probation and possible expungement if conditions were met. It remains unclear whether the new plea or the separate exploitation case will affect that earlier agreement.
