Apple didn't fall far from the tree. Jayson Boebert flashed his dick, in public, in front of a then-underage Lauren and her friends. She married that sex predator, and then they had a sex predator son.

The Boebert home is truly a den of fucking evil.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago

To be fair she's also a sex predator, kid never had a chance

Fascists should all be treated as pesos

Because they are.

Being a child predator or having child predators in your family is a requirement for being a Republican.

she also dated/married the person who was preying on minors. the same one that flashed her during her HS years.

Lauren Boebert? Who gave some guy a handjob in the local theater? Is there anyone in her family who isn't a sex offender?

"I love my son," the U.S. representative told USA TODAY in response to a request for comment. "We take these allegations very seriously and pray for everyone affected during this challenging time."

😑 Pretty good standard PR line I guess

The fact that she can be so bland tells me she knew and didn't mind it.

Tyler Boebert is facing charges of:

  • Sexual exploitation of a child - induce/entice
  • Sexual exploitation of a child - possession with intent
  • Sexual exploitation of a child - video
  • Two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor

Source

If this happened in the beginning of 2024, and Tyler was born March 21, 2005, he would have been 18¾. In the best case scenario he just had a girlfriend who wasn't 18 yet and they made consensual videos.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 week ago

Looks like that's exactly what it was:

He was 18 at the time and 11 months older than the victim, according to the arrest affidavit. The girl turned 18 three weeks after the illicit video was shot on Feb. 1, 2024, authorities said.

Honestly the only action in this that I find a problem, is that someone put the video on Instagram. If an 18 and a 17 year old want to film themselves having sex for their own use, then that might not be a good idea because of the danger of leaks, or later retaliatory action from one party against the other, but making or possessing it also shouldn't be a criminal offence.

From a societal perspective nothing good comes of making massive swaths of teens into criminals for consensual victimless crimes.

Tyler Boebert, the 21-year-old son of Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert,

Omg, you guys… I can't believe it. How could a harpy piece of trash, whose husband apparently also assaulted her, raise such an alleged piece of shit if she cares so much about family values and the bible?!

Btw, what a winner, bobo:

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Her son wanted to recreate his parents sex offender "meet-cute", it didn't quite work out.

Bitch needs to kill her ultra-local pedophile.
