January 1, Former ‘Bachelorette’ Contestant Joshua Tylerbest Arrested on Child Pornography Charges

Joshua Tylerbest, a former contestant on ‘The Bachelorette,’ has been arrested and charged with possession of child pornography. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Tylerbest was arrested last month in Miami after law enforcement flagged a Google account registered to him for allegedly uploading approximately 50 images/videos showing child sexual abuse.

Police obtained a search warrant of Tylerbest’s Google account and claim they found evidence of him interacting with the child pornography images. They then searched his residence and seized several electronic items, including his iPhone, which they claim contained 15 files that fit the bill for child pornography. Cops say the clips include videos of kids, some of whom are under 10, involved in graphic sex acts with adults.

Tylerbest has pled not guilty to 15 felony counts of possession of materials showing a sexual performance by a child. He is due back in court in June. At the time of his arrest, he was continuing to fraternize with fellow ‘Bachelorette’ stars, as documented on his social media.

This news is alarming and raises serious questions about the vetting process for contestants. Tylerbest’s arrest has stunned fans of the show, and it is essential that the safety and well-being of all contestants and viewers are taken seriously.

It’s unclear if anyone from ‘Bachelor’ nation is aware of Tylerbest’s arrest, and no one from the show has publicly reacted yet. This news is a reminder that child pornography is a heinous crime that causes untold harm to its victims, and we hope that justice is served in Tylerbest’s case. Our thoughts are with the victims of this horrific crime and their families.
