An 18-year-old jerkoff from California has admitted he kicked a sea lion in a video that went viral recently, and has pleaded guilty to a federal crime. Tyler Muehl, of San Diego’s La Jolla neighborhood, faces up to a year in prison and a $100,000 fine after acknowledging in court on Thursday that he violated the Marine Mammal Protection Act’s prohibition on harassment of wildlife.
In court papers, Muehl conceded that he repeatedly kicked a protected sea lion that was peacefully sitting on a wall in La Jolla Cove near Ellen Browning Scripps Park on the night of 22 July 2026. He said he went up to the animal with his hands up as if he were readying himself to fight the sea lion.
Muehl confessed to kicking the sea lion four times.
He twice kicked the creature’s face, causing it to “rear, flinch and immediately recoil” as well as prompting it to try to flee. Muehl then chased the sea lion and kicked the animal a third time as it stumbled on the wall, prosecutors said in their statement.
