... bowling alley exposure? Seems I read that somewhere a while back. Maybe it was later debunked???

But if she was, let me see if I’ve got this straight. He committed a sex crime against her by whipping out his little patriot and brandishing it to her and her teenage friends, and she thought “I want some more of that”.

That’s pretty messed up.

I just found out that none of them were considered underage in terms of actual sexual situations, as Colorado has strange laws for consent

Jayson Boebert was less than 10 years older than the 16yo

That is why he did not get underage sexual charges tossed on him in addition to his actual charges

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_States#Colorado

The age of consent in Colorado is 17; however, there exists in the legislation close-in-age exceptions, which allow those aged 15 and 16 to engage in acts with those less than ten years older and those less than 15 to engage in acts with those less than four years older. A 17-year-old may not, however, consent to sex with a person who is in a position of trust with respect to the person under the age of eighteen. C.R.S. 18-3-405.3.

C.R.S. 18-3-402(1) Any actor who knowingly inflicts sexual intrusion or sexual penetration on a victim commits sexual assault if: ... (d) At the time of the commission of the act, the victim is less than fifteen years of age and the actor is at least four years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim; or (e) At the time of the commission of the act, the victim is at least fifteen years of age but less than seventeen years of age and the actor is at least ten years older than the victim and is not the spouse of the victim

Sat Mar 27, 2021, 11:24 PM
Mar 2021

Garfield County Sheriff’s Office arrest report (pdf) has surfaced showing Lauren Boebert’s husband, Jayson, was arrested on January 28, 2004 for exposing his penis to young women at the Rifle Fireside Lanes Bowling Alley.

One of the victims was a minor who was 16 years old.

Lauren married Jayson in 2005, one and a half years after the indecent exposure

According to the arrest affidavit (pdf), at about 7:00 p.m. that evening, the young women were standing at the snack bar discussing their tattoos when Jayson, standing several feet away, overheard the conversation and informed them that he had a tattoo on his genitals. The women turned their backs towards Jayson to ignore him, but Jayson then came up behind them, unzipped his pants, pulled his penis out and displayed the shaft to them with his thumb covering the head. The women complained to the bowling alley owner, who asked Jayson several times to leave the establishment. Jayson refused and became belligerent, leading the owner to call law enforcement.

there's a pretty big rural/urban split in CO. Might not be quite as big as in other states -- but it's real noticeable right after you depart the east slope. (and the same rural/urban thing is seen in a lot of places)

Park Cannon get charged with a felony and a misdemeanour for knocking on a door where she wasn't welcome.

Then the Boeberts. He's a convicted sex offender, but that never gets mentioned. *
She has a picture and a short bio in the DSM 5, but is hoping to upgrade to having a psych disorder named after her.

Is that about it? Perfect.

* Do we all remember that kid who - stupidly, I will admit - was caught sexting with a female classmate? He was charged with having possession of salacious pictures of a minor (himself) but was charged, convicted and sentenced as an adult.

HE is the one that gets to wear "Convicted Sex Offender: for LIFE. Jayson Boebert has committeded himself to a worse life (ostensibly) sentence by marrying that loon, but doesn't seem to realize it.
