Tyler Boebert Draws a Second 100-Yard Stay-Away Order
An 18-year-old ex obtained a 100-yard order against Tyler Boebert, adding a civil stay-away on top of his two-party criminal protection order.
An 18-year-old who says she is Tyler Boebert’s ex-girlfriend obtained a temporary civil protection order that keeps him 100 yards from her and her home, TMZ reported Thursday. A judge set a hearing for Friday. Tyler, 21, the son of Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., has not responded.
The new paperwork lands on a criminal stay-away that already names two protected parties in his Garfield County exploitation case, which grew out of a 2024 video.
A Second Ex-Girlfriend Gets a 100-Yard Buffer
TMZ said it obtained the civil filing. The woman asked that Tyler be ordered to stay away from her and from her home, and she tied the request to the child-exploitation case now in district court. In the papers, she wrote that the charges had to do with “videos he shared, I think, of me and to me of other girls.”

Law enforcement has said at least one count in that criminal case comes from a 43-second video Tyler allegedly recorded of a then-girlfriend in 2024, when she was 17 and he was 18, TMZ noted. The outlet said he has already been ordered to stay away from that other ex-girlfriend, the subject of the alleged video. The civil filer, as TMZ described her, is not that person.
THE SECOND ORDER, AS FILED
- The petitioner: An 18-year-old woman who identifies herself as Tyler’s former girlfriend, unnamed in the TMZ account.
- The relief: A temporary civil protection order that requires a 100-yard stay-away from her and her home.
- The next date: A hearing set for Friday, with no public result posted by Friday morning.
- His response: None on file in the TMZ report.
A few posts flipped the parties and said Tyler had gone to court. The documents run the other way. The young woman filed, a judge granted a temporary order, and the restrained party is the congresswoman’s son.

The Criminal Order Already Named Two People
On Aug. 19, Tyler appeared without a lawyer before 9th Judicial District Judge Elise Myer in Garfield County District Court, the Aspen Times reported. She advised him of the five felony counts and entered a mandatory protection order covering two protected parties. The order bars him from contacting, harassing, or intimidating those people and requires him to stay away from places where they are likely to be found.
TMZ, which had a camera in the room, said the judge told him not to harass the alleged victim, not to go to her house, and not to contact her. He asked what he should do if a protected person walked into his workplace.
I’m just concerned about if they came to my place of work. I’m obligated to be there, and I just don’t want that to be a violation.
Tyler Boebert, Garfield County District Court, Aug. 19, 2026
Myer said she appreciated the question. “If somebody comes in that is a protected party, it might make sense just to remove yourself for a short period of time,” she told him, according to Oxygen. “Maybe have a conversation with your boss about that particular circumstance if it were to arise.”
The criminal order and the new civil order are different tools. One came with the felony case. The other is a petition a private person can file even when a criminal order already exists. Colorado’s civil statute tells judges not to refuse that relief merely because a criminal protection order is already in place. The civil papers TMZ described do not say whether this 18-year-old is the second person on Myer’s order or someone else again.
Prosecutors Filed Five Felony Counts on Aug. 6
Deputy District Attorney Anthony Hershey signed the five-count information filed on Aug. 6 in the name of Ninth Judicial District Attorney Benjamin Sollars. Every count is charged between January 1, 2024 and February 29, 2024. The defendant is listed as Tyler J. Boebert, of Windsor.
| Count | Charge | Class | Presumptive range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sexual exploitation of a child (causing or inducing explicit conduct for material) | Class 3 felony | 4 to 12 years |
| 2 | Sexual exploitation of a child (possessing with intent to distribute) | Class 3 felony | 4 to 12 years |
| 3 | Sexual exploitation of a child (possessing or viewing a video) | Class 4 felony | 2 to 6 years |
| 4 | Contributing to the delinquency of a minor, first degree | Class 4 felony | 2 to 6 years |
| 5 | Contributing to the delinquency of a minor, first degree | Class 4 felony | 2 to 6 years |
The Aspen Times, citing the same ranges, reported that a conviction on any exploitation count would also require sex-offender registration. He has not entered a plea. Myer set the next criminal date for 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 10.
The Date Window in the Information
Count 1 tracks Colorado sexual exploitation of a child statute language: that he caused, induced, enticed, or permitted a child to engage in explicit sexual conduct for the making of sexually exploitative material. Count 2 charges possession with intent to deal in, sell, or distribute that material. Count 3 is the video count. It says he accessed, viewed, possessed, or controlled a video, videotape, or motion picture that qualifies as sexually exploitative material. Counts 4 and 5 charge that he induced, aided, or encouraged a child to violate the same exploitation law.
Under that statute, a child is a person under 18. The legislature’s own finding on the page is blunt: a child below 18 “is incapable of giving informed consent to the use of his or her body for a sexual purpose.” Age of the other person in a dating relationship does not move the line. PEOPLE, citing a 49-page arrest affidavit, said the clip ran 43 seconds and was filmed on Feb. 1, 2024, when Tyler was 18 and the girl was 17, two weeks from her 18th birthday. The Denver Post, working from a heavily redacted affidavit, said she was weeks from turning 18 and reported the video to Silt police shortly after it was made. TMZ, in an earlier account, put the filming on April 1, 2024. The charging document’s window is January through February 2024, and that is the date range the court is using.
Rifle Police Took a Safe2Tell Report in March
The Aspen Times, summarizing the affidavit, said the investigation began after Rifle police received a Safe2Tell report in March 2024. The tip alleged that videos and images of minors engaged in sexual activity had been posted to a private Instagram account. Investigators identified multiple videos and images involving minors, including one that allegedly showed Tyler, then 18, engaged in sexual activity with a 17-year-old girl. CPR, citing the same affidavit, said the girl was 11 months younger than he was.
PEOPLE reported that the video of Tyler and his then-girlfriend was never posted to social media, unlike other material described in the affidavit, and that her face is never shown. She was identified by her hair and by an injury from a car accident, the magazine said. After her former boyfriend received a copy, she went to police. TMZ wrote that she first told officers she was hesitant to report it because she did not want Tyler to get in trouble. Her mother, Oxygen reported, also told investigators she believed Tyler had recorded the video.
Garfield County sheriff’s deputies arrested him on Aug. 9. He posted a $10,000 bond and left jail the same day. A warrant issued days earlier was canceled once the bond posted. Case number 2026CR234. Rep. Boebert, who is running again in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, told TMZ on Aug. 10: “I love my son. We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time.”
What Can a Colorado Temporary Order Require?
A criminal protection order rides with the felony case. A civil protection order is a separate lawsuit. The Colorado Judicial Branch’s self-help page on how Colorado issues a temporary protection order says a petitioner can file in any county where the incidents happened, or where either party lives or works. The filing fee is $95 and is waived in cases of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Under the law on temporary civil protection orders, a judge may issue the order after finding a risk or threat of physical harm, or a threat of psychological or emotional harm, to the person seeking protection. The court can hear that request the same day, and the other party does not have to be in the room. The permanent hearing is usually set within 14 days. The petitioner has to complete personal service before that date. If the restrained person is served and does not appear, the temporary order can be made permanent.
WHAT THE ORDER CAN REACH
- Distance and contact: A set physical buffer, often 100 yards, plus a ban on calls, texts, and in-person contact.
- Places: The protected person’s home, school, and work, and other locations the court names.
- Conduct: Threats, stalking, harassment, and injury, including harm to an animal the protected person keeps.
- Guns: A court may bar the restrained person from possessing or buying a firearm and may order any gun turned over.
Violation of a permanent civil protection order is a criminal offense under Colorado law. The 100-yard term in this new filing is the specific number TMZ reported from the temporary order, not a figure the criminal order used in open court on Aug. 19. Stacked together, the orders turn ordinary places (a house, a job, a sidewalk) into places he has to map in advance.
September Holds Sentencings in Two Older Cases
The exploitation file is the new case. It is not the only one on the calendar. In October 2024, Tyler pleaded guilty in Garfield County to one count of attempted identity theft, a class 5 felony, after a February 2024 Rifle arrest that began as 22 charges tied to vehicle break-ins. Judge John Neiley gave him a two-year deferred judgment, meaning the felony can be dismissed if he finishes probation. Sentencing in that matter, case 2024CR57, had been set for Sept. 10, the same afternoon as the new exploitation appearance. Myer said on Aug. 19 it was unclear whether that sentencing would still go, given the new charges. Coverage of the arrest has already asked whether the new felonies could undo the deferred deal.
On Sept. 4 he is set for sentencing in Weld County in a child-abuse case. TMZ reported on Aug. 13 that he accepted a plea to child abuse, negligence without injury, after his young son was found wandering near the Boebert home in July 2025. Prosecutors suggested a cap of 30 days in jail, 12 months of supervised probation, and a parenting program, according to those court papers. He had faced a similar citation the year before. Rep. Boebert at the time called the July incident a miscommunication about who was watching her grandson.
THE DATES THAT BUILT THIS FILE

- July 11, 2025: Windsor citation for misdemeanor child abuse, negligence without injury, after his toddler left the home.
- August 6, 2026: Fifth Judicial… Ninth Judicial District files the five-count exploitation information.
- August 9, 2026: Arrest in Garfield County; $10,000 bond; release the same day.
- August 19, 2026: First appearance; mandatory protection order for two people; next criminal date Sept. 10.

Joseph Gavaldon, a defense lawyer who represented Tyler in a separate case earlier this year, would not confirm to the Denver Post whether he was on this file and declined to comment. As of the Aug. 19 hearing, Tyler still had no counsel of record. Online argument has treated the arrest as a political hit on Rep. Boebert. The civil filing does not wait on that fight. It is a distance order, already in force, sitting beside a two-person criminal stay-away while the 2024 video case is still at the advice-of-rights stage.
Tyler is due back in Garfield County District Court at 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 10 on the exploitation charges. The same day had been set for sentencing in the 2024 Rifle file, though Myer said it was unclear whether that hearing would still proceed. As of Friday morning, no public result had been posted from the civil protection hearing TMZ said was set for that day.
