He is now officially charged with 15 felony counts of possession of material depicting child sex acts… of which he pleaded not guilty. Tylerbest is scheduled to return to court in June.
Like we said before, Tylerbest had a few issues during Katie’s ‘Bachelorette’ 2021. He’s been four weeks. but was eliminated after that. There was nothing particularly scandalous about his time on TV, and at the time he was pretty well regarded.
He is still friends with the star. ‘Bachelorette’ continued, as his social media accounts documented – he entered town along with the other contestants on the show.
It’s unclear if anyone from the ‘Bachelor’ country was aware of his arrest… No one from the show has yet publicly reacted.
