Tyler Boebert, the son of Rep. Lauren Boebert, has accepted a plea agreement in a child abuse case that could result in a short jail sentence and supervised probation, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
The agreement was offered by the Weld County District Attorney’s Office and calls for Tyler to plead guilty to charges of child abuse and negligence without injury.

Under the proposed agreement, prosecutors are asking the court to impose a maximum sentence of 30 days in jail, followed by 12 months of supervised probation.
The deal also requires Tyler to complete a parenting program.
The case stems from allegations involving Tyler’s child and incidents that authorities say occurred while the child was under his care.
According to the court documents, authorities initially became involved after the child was found wandering around a neighborhood in July 2025.
Prosecutors later alleged that another incident had taken place about a month earlier.
In that earlier incident, prosecutors said the child was left unattended before a neighbor discovered the child. The court documents describe the child as “wandering around” while wearing only a diaper.
The allegations led to charges of child abuse and negligence without injury against Tyler.
Before prosecutors disclosed the second alleged incident, Lauren Boebert publicly defended her son and said he had been working to improve his life and his role as a father.
“Tyler has been doing a great job getting his life on track as a father and citizen over the past year.”
The Colorado congresswoman also addressed the circumstances surrounding the July 2025 incident.
“Unfortunately, this event stems from a miscommunication on monitoring my young grandson that recently led to him getting out of our house.”
The case involving Tyler has also included a separate set of criminal allegations.
According to the report, Tyler was arrested over the weekend on charges related to child sexual exploitation.
Authorities said those allegations stem from a video Tyler recorded when he was 18 involving his then-girlfriend, who was reportedly only weeks away from turning 18 at the time.
The woman later contacted police after the recording was circulated to third parties, according to the report.
The separate arrest adds another legal matter to the situation surrounding Tyler, although the plea agreement described in the court documents concerns the child abuse and negligence case.
The proposed resolution in that case does not call for a lengthy prison sentence.
Instead, prosecutors recommended a jail term capped at 30 days along with a year of supervised probation and completion of a parenting program.
The final sentence will be determined by the court.
Lauren Boebert, a Republican who represents Colorado in Congress, has remained publicly involved in defending her family amid the legal proceedings involving her son.
The child abuse case has received attention because of Tyler’s connection to the congresswoman and because prosecutors later brought forward allegations involving a second incident that was not initially part of the public account of the case.
The plea agreement now gives the court a proposed path toward resolving the child abuse and negligence charges without a lengthy trial.
The allegations remain separate from the charges connected to the video involving Tyler and his former girlfriend.
Those charges arose from a different investigation and were reported after the child abuse case was already underway.
For the child abuse case, Tyler’s guilty plea means the dispute over those charges will move into the sentencing phase.
Prosecutors are seeking no more than 30 days behind bars, 12 months of supervised probation, and completion of the parenting program.
The court will ultimately decide whether to accept the proposed sentencing terms.
The case remains a matter of public attention because of Lauren Boebert’s prominent political position and the multiple legal issues involving her son.
The latest development, however, is the plea agreement addressing the child abuse and negligence allegations involving his child.
