A Second Ex Puts 100 Yards on Tyler Boebert

An 18-year-old former girlfriend of Tyler Boebert obtained a temporary civil protection order that requires him to stay 100 yards from her and her home. A Garfield County judge set a hearing for Friday, Aug. 28, the day after the petition became public. Court records available this week do not show how that hearing ended.

He is already under a separate stay-away from another former girlfriend named in his open child sexual exploitation case, which still has no plea.

One Hundred Yards and a Friday Hearing

The new order is a civil tool, not a new criminal charge. Colorado courts say personal protection orders limit contact and a minimum distance, and they can also bar threats, stalking, and visits to a protected person’s home, school, or work. The filing fee is $95, and that fee is waived in cases of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

The woman asked that Tyler stay away from her and from her home. A judge granted the temporary order at that 100-yard line and put the dispute on the Friday calendar. Tyler had not answered the petition when it first surfaced.

WHAT WE KNOW

• The temporary order: A judge required Tyler to stay 100 yards from the 18-year-old petitioner and her home.
• The hearing date: The court set the matter for Friday, Aug. 28.
• The other order: He is already barred from the former girlfriend named in the criminal case.
• The open felonies: Five counts from early 2024 remain pending, with no plea on the record.

WHAT IS UNCONFIRMED

• Friday’s result: No public ruling from the Aug. 28 hearing has been posted.
• The videos in her petition: She wrote that she thought some of the charged videos involved her; the 2024 case names a different girlfriend who was 17 then.
• His response: There is still no public written answer from Tyler on the civil filing.

Those gaps matter because a temporary order is not a final one. The Friday setting was the chance to keep it, drop it, or rewrite the terms. Until a signed lasting order appears, the 100-yard bubble is the last fact the civil file gives.

The New Filing Names a Second Girlfriend

The petitioner is 18. Tyler is 21. She described herself as his ex and tied her fear to the child-exploitation case already in district court.

having to do with videos he shared, I think, of me and to me of other girls.

The 18-year-old petitioner, civil protection filing

That “I think” is doing a lot of work. The criminal case is built around a sexually explicit video investigators say Tyler, then 18, made with a then-17-year-old girlfriend in early 2024, when she was weeks from turning 18. That young woman would now be about 20. The new petitioner is 18. They are not the same person.

The petition still uses the criminal case as its warning flare. She wants distance from a man already charged with making and holding sexually exploitative material of a minor. The civil court does not have to wait for a jury to give her that distance. It only has to find enough cause for a temporary order, then test it at a hearing.

The loud public argument around this family keeps collapsing those two women into one scandal. The paperwork does not. One woman is the protected party in the criminal file. The other walked into civil court last week and asked for her own 100 yards.

How a Mandatory Order Already Boxed Him In

On Aug. 19, Tyler made his first appearance in the felony case in Garfield County District Court in Glenwood Springs. He had no lawyer. The judge entered a mandatory protection order against a defendant, the stay-away that attaches to a Colorado criminal case at arraignment or first appearance and runs until the case ends unless the court changes it.

That order restrains him from harassing, molesting, intimidating, retaliating against, or tampering with a victim or witness in the charged acts. The protected party is the former girlfriend from the 2024 video. State law also says a criminal order of that kind does not block a later civil order. Last week’s filing used that opening.

WHAT THE CRIMINAL ORDER ALREADY DOES

• Who it covers: The alleged victim and witnesses tied to the five felony counts.

When it started: At his first appearance on Aug. 19, before any plea.

• How long it lasts: Until final disposition, unless a judge modifies it.
• What a breach risks: Contempt, and a separate misdemeanor for violating a protection order.

He is presumed innocent on the felonies. The stay-away does not wait on that question. It is a control on contact while the case is alive. The civil order, if it holds, adds a second map with a second person and a number attached: 100 yards.

Five Felonies on a 43-Second Tape

Ninth Judicial District Attorney Benjamin Sollars signed five felony counts filed August 6, through Deputy District Attorney Anthony Hershey. Every count is alleged between Jan. 1 and Feb. 29, 2024. The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office arrested Tyler on Aug. 9 on a warrant after its investigation and a felony review by the DA’s office. Bond was $10,000. He bonded out of jail the same day.

The sheriff’s office identified him as a New Castle man and said the investigation remained open. The charging paper lists a Windsor address and a date of birth of March 21, 2005. It also lists a co-defendant under a juvenile docket number, with the name withheld on the public information.

THE COUNTS IN GARFIELD COUNTY

Investigators describe a 43-second sexually explicit video of Tyler and the 17-year-old girlfriend. The girl’s mother told police she believed he had recorded it. A Safe2Tell tip the following month pointed authorities to an Instagram account that held sexually explicit videos of teens, and the affidavit in this investigation runs dozens of pages and names other people whose identities are redacted. Whether Tyler’s own video was posted to that account is described in conflicting ways in public accounts of the affidavit, so that detail stays off this page as a fact.

He has not entered a plea. The next hearing in the exploitation case is set for Sept. 10.

Colorado Law Draws the Line at Eighteen

Colorado’s age of consent for sex is 17. That fact is the objection that keeps coming back whenever this case is argued in public, usually as a claim that an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old who were dating should not be in felony court. The charging paper is not a statutory-rape case.

The exploitation statute a child below the age of eighteen cannot give informed consent to the use of that child’s body for a sexual purpose in recorded material. “Child” under that section means a person less than 18. Making, holding with intent to distribute, or possessing a video that shows a 17-year-old in explicit sexual conduct is the crime alleged, even if a sexual relationship of that age gap would not itself be charged as assault.

CHILD UNDER THE EXPLOITATION STATUTE

• The definition: A child is a person less than 18 years of age.
• The recording rule: The legislature says a person under 18 cannot consent to being used in sexually exploitative material.
• The video count: Possessing or viewing a qualifying video is charged here as a class 4 felony.

That is why the 43-second tape, if the state proves he made or held it as charged, sits at the center of counts 1 through 3. Counts 4 and 5 allege he induced or encouraged a child to violate the same exploitation law. The civil petitioner’s line about “other girls” tracks the wider investigation, but her own age in 2026 does not place her in that 2024 window as the 17-year-old on the tape.

A Workplace Question on Aug. 19

After the judge read the mandatory order, Tyler did not argue that he should still see the protected woman. He asked what happens if she walks into the place that pays him.

I’m just concerned about if they came to my place of work. I’m obligated to be there, and I last don’t want that to be a violation.

The judge thanked him for raising it and told him to step out for a short time if a protected party came in, and to talk with his boss about that chance in advance.

If somebody comes in that is a protected party, it might make sense just to remove yourself for a short period of time. Maybe have a conversation with your boss about that particular circumstance if it were to arise.

That exchange is the practical life of these orders. A stay-away is easy to recite and easy to break by accident in a small Western Slope town. A second order, with a second woman and a 100-yard line, multiplies the places he cannot be. If the Friday civil hearing made the temporary terms lasting, he is navigating two maps at once while the felony case is still in its first month of court.

Weld and Garfield Dates Arrive This Week

The exploitation file is not his only calendar. He is a young father. This past February he was cited for misdemeanor child abuse without injury after his 2-year-old son wandered out of the boy’s grandmother’s home for a second time. Rep. Lauren Boebert, his mother, said then there was no excuse and later described a miscommunication over who was watching the boy. The Weld County District Attorney’s Office offered a plea to child abuse and negligence without injury, with up to 30 days in jail, a year of supervised probation, and a parenting program. Sentencing in that case is Friday, Sept. 4, two days from now.

On Sept. 10, the same day as the next exploitation hearing, he also faces sentencing in Garfield County on a 2024 case that began as a Rifle string of vehicle trespass and thefts. He was 18 then. He later pleaded guilty to attempted identity theft, and the rest of that pile was dropped.

After the August arrest, Lauren Boebert issued one public line on the new felonies.

I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time.

The 2024 tape sat in an investigative file for more than two years before the warrant. The court system is now compressing that delay into a two-week stretch of sentencings, a civil stay-away, and a felony case that still has no lawyer of record and no plea. Friday in Weld County is the next hard date. The 100-yard order, unless a judge has already quietly ended it, is the rule he is supposed to live under while he walks into that courtroom.
