Lauren Boebert May Be Charged With A Sex Crime Under Colorado’s Lewdness Statute

Rep. Lauren Boebert’s lewd behavior at a Denver theater performance of a musical last week may soon result in her being charged with a sex crime under Colorado law.

According to Newsweek:

Colorado law states that public indecency is committed when a person performs certain acts in a public place, or in a place where the public is likely to see, including lewdly fondling or caressing another individual. Sexual intercourse; lewd exposure of the body but not the genitalia, with the intent to arouse or satisfy a sexual desire; and knowingly exposing one’s genitals to the view of another, under the circumstances in which such conduct is likely to cause affront or alarm, are considered public indecency, as well.

According to statute 18-7-301 of the Colorado criminal code, public indecency is a petty offense sex crime punishable by fines and up to six months in prison for more serious offenses. It tends to carry lighter penalties, though, such as 10 days in jail and/or up to $300 fines, in addition to potential probation, community service or mandatory counseling.

Boebert and her date were caught on video sexually fondling each other, with the man grabbing at her breasts while the congresswoman placed her hand on his crotch.

Does their behavior fall under the Colorado statute? Possibly, but Denver defense attorney Matthew Hand says the indecency law is “vague and overreaching.”

“To be blunt, not all intimacy is intercourse, and lewdness is in the eye of the beholder.”

Even if Boebert isn’t formally charged, the political price she’ll have to pay may be the final straw in what was already projected to be difficult reelection bid for the Colorado Republican, with polls showing her losing favor among voters in her district.

Ironically, Boebert’s ex-husband was convicted of a sex crime in 2004 after he exposed his penis to two underage girls in bowling alley.

In January 2004, when Jayson Boebert was 24, he was arrested for exposing himself to two young women at a Colorado bowling alley. His future wife Lauren Roberts (as she was then known), who was 17 at the time, was also present and was told she was no longer welcome at the bowling alley.

Jayson Boebert pled guilty to “public indecency and lewd exposure” after that incident, according to The New York Post, and was sentenced to four days in jail with a subsequent two years on probation.

No wonder Lauren fell in love with Jayson, huh?

Boebert Fake Apologizes For Her Lewd ‘Beetlejuice’ Behavior – Blames It On Her Divorce

Having been caught vaping, felt up, and attempting to give her boyfriend a hand job during a performance of the play “Beetlejuice” in Denver, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is now issuing a fake apology to try and minimize the political fallout that has begun and could well cost her the 2024 election.

The Guardian reports that Boebert issued a statement in which she tried to blame her recent divorce for acting like a horny teen out on a date for the first time.

“The past few days have been difficult and humbling, and I’m truly sorry for the unwanted attention my Sunday evening in Denver has brought to the community,” Boebert said in the apology, as reported by the Colorado Sun.

Boebert added that her “public and difficult divorce” has created a “challenging personal time for me and my entire family”.

“I’ve tried to handle it with strength and grace as best I can, but I simply fell short of my values on Sunday,” Boebert said.

 

When the story first broke on Tuesday, Boebert suggested she had done nothing wrong, writing on Twitter:

“It’s true, I did thoroughly enjoy the AMAZING Beetlejuice at the Buell Theatre and I plead guilty to laughing and singing too loud!

“Everyone should go see it if you get the chance this week and please let me know how it ends!”

Laughing and singing too loud? How about the groping, tit grabbing, and junk rubbing, Bobo?

And yet, this is the same woman who tells us drag performers are a threat to children.

Lauren Boebert Booted From Denver Theater For ‘Causing A Disturbance’

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was kicked out of a Denver theater over the weekend for “causing a disturbance,” including vaping during a performance of the “Beetlejuice” musical, singing during the performance, and attempting to record portions of the event.

According to The Denver Post, Boebert and another patron were asked to leave the musical after being warned during intermission about their behavior.

The incident report states that after receiving the intermission warning, about five minutes into the second act security officials received “another complaint about the patrons being loud and at the time (they) were recording.” Taking pictures or recording is not permitted at shows.

The report quotes one of the ushers: “They told me they would not leave. I told them that they need to leave the theater and if they do not, they will be trespassing. The patrons said they would not leave. I told them I would (be) going to get Denver Police. They said go get them.”

Boebert’s office confirmed that the congresswoman did indeed get the heave-ho from “Beetlejuice,” with Drew Sexton remarking:

“I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!) and, to the dismay of a select few, enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of ‘Beetlejuice.'”

Boebert is running for reelection in 2024, and recent polls have shown she has a very good chance of losing to her Democratic opponent, Adam Frisch.

An early poll shows incumbent U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert and Adam Frisch, the Democrat who came close to unseating the Republican in 2022, in a tie for the seat amid current political conditions.

If the 2024 election were held today with the two candidates, 45% of voters would choose Frisch and 45% would choose Boebert, according to findings from a poll released Tuesday.

Trump Appears To Troll Lauren Boebert By Posting A Poll That Shows Her Losing In November

A new poll released yesterday in Colorado shows that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) is losing ground in her bid to win another term in office come the 2024 election.

Boebert, who is being challenged by Democrat Adam Frisch, is now losing by 2 percentage points to, Axios reports.

Frisch took 50% support of likely voters compared to 48% for Boebert — a statistical tie that is sure to elevate the stakes in Colorado’s much-watched 3rd Congressional District in the 2024 election.

It’s the first substantive poll to show Frisch with a possible advantage in the conservative district, pollster Chris Keating tells Axios.

Boebert won re-election in 2022 by a mere 546 votes, and Democrats are salivating at the chance to defeat the incumbent, who has established herself as a national GOP firebrand and ally of former President Trump.

Even more troubling for Boebert’s reelection campaign is her unfavorable rating, which has risen to 58%. That along suggests the congresswoman is facing an uphill battle next year.

Oddly, failed former president Donald Trump posted the poll results on his Truth Social site, raising questions about whether or not he was trying to troll Boebert or show that Republicans are vulnerable.

Here’s what Trump posted, without any commentary:

What’s that all about? Is the eternally disloyal Trump trying to show he’s winning in a district that could conceivably be lost by a GOP incumbent? Or is he hoping to gin up support for Boebert? If it’s the latter, that’s an odd way to boost a candidate.

Neither Boebert or her campaign have commented on Trump’s post. What would they say if they did?

2024 is likely to be an electoral bloodbath for Republicans. And if indeed Boebert does lose, the House of Representatives will automatically be a smarter place the day she vacates her office.

Lauren Boebert: There’s No Need To Use Birth Control – ‘It’s Cheaper To Have A Kid’

It’s been clear for quite some time now that Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but something she said during a House Oversight Committee hearing on the price of prescription drugs, the Colorado Republican uttered what may well go down in U.S. history as one of the dumbest things ever said by a member of Congress.

According to Boebert, “I left a prescription at a pharmacy once. I went to get birth control, and I was there at the counter and went to pay for it, and the price was very, very high. I said, wow, is this a three six-month prescription? ‘No, ma’am, this is one month.'”

“And I said, it’s cheaper to have a kid. And I left it there, and now I have my third son.”

Just for shits and giggles, let’s take Bobo’s bullshit comment and do a quick fact-check on it.

According to a 2022 Washington Post report, it costs about $17,000 a year to raise a child.

Raising a child is expensive. From the day your baby is born until the day they turn 18, your family will spend about $310,605 — or about $17,000 a year, according to a new Brookings Institution analysis of data from the U.S. Agriculture Department.

The exact amount will vary depending on how much you earn and where you live. Families in the urban Northeast typically spend the most, for example, while those in the urban Midwest and rural areas spend the least. And while families with lower incomes spend less overall, government studies show they devote a larger share of their budgets to their children.

The cost of birth control, on the other hand, can run as high as $2,000 a year, with Healthline noting, “It’s no secret that birth control is expensive. Whether you go with the pill, the ring, the patch, or another method, the cost of birth control can range up to $2,000 per year.”

Let’s see: $17,000 a year vs. $2,000 a year. That’s one hell of a difference, and it easily disproves Bobert’s moronic statement that she found it cheaper to raise a child than pay for birth control.

Twitter also had some mockery for Boebert.
