As more and more details are being revealed about Rep. Lauren Boebert's wild night out in Denver last weekend — having been kicked out of "Beetlejuice" the musical for vaping and just generally being a public nuisance with her male companion — a full picture is coming together of what the other theater patrons around her that night had to endure.

Newly released footage of the night in question appears to show Boebert's exposed breasts being fondled by her date for an extended period of time while she, in turn, dawdles around in his lap with her hand. As many have pointed out on social media, having seen this footage, children were seated all around the couple that night, within viewing range of what they were up to.

"Laurent Boebert was jerking her date off in public while he gropes her in a theater where children were present and yet she continues to attack LGBTQ people as 'threats to children,'" writes journalist and clinical instructor Alejandra Caraballo on X, sharing the footage of Boebert in the act.

Why hasn't she been arrested for public nudity, sex acts in public, and all the upgrades for committing these crimes in front of minor children?

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

Everyone should start calling her a groomer I think. Just like everyone should refer to Gaetz as Groomer Gaetz.

They absolutely hate it when you turn their terms around on them.

Peewee was arrested for less and he was in a fucking porno theater for fuck sakes …. Arrest this bitch.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If there's hard evidence of this then she would probably be put on the sex offender's list wouldn't she?

[–] fireshaper@infosec.pub 21 points 1 year ago

There's a video in the link.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Well by certain new laws a child was present within a few feet. The woman behind them was pregnant. Such exposure to a child so young... so egregious.

[–] Rambi@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

I mean yea, why hasn't she been though? If this was an adults only show I would still think this is bad but not that serious. While children are around though that is a really bad thing to do and they should definitely face legal consequences.

If someone who wasn't a congressional representative did that they would surely go to prison right, and maybe put on that register for people who need to stay a certain distance away from schools and such?

If she was a man she’d have been arrested already and publicly shamed as a pervert. They’d also question whether any of it was consensual.

[–] Elivey@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She is being shamed publicly as a pervert, that's what we're all doing right now and what these news sites are doing.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but is she paying any cost for it?

[–] Rambi@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

No, which I think is more to do with having political power. Afterall there was two people that were committing this crime simultaneously so in this case it's not a good argument to say it's because she's a woman.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The person she was with started it by grabbing her tits for a while. So, probably not.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Franken was made to step down for posing to pretend to grab some boobage; Qbert has actual grope session with children present and still has her job - for now anyway.

[–] thecrotch@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

She was doing this with a man, and he wasn't arrested

[–] ryannathans@lemmy.fmhy.net -5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Point to the nudity, there's none in the linked footage

[–] Rambi@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

She has her tits out lol.
