US Edition‘Mormon Wives’ star Taylor Frankie Paul will not face new domestic violence charges
Prosecutors said several allegations were too old or lacked evidence, and the decision leaves custody and protective-order fights in place.
- On Tuesday, the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office announced it will not charge reality star Taylor Frankie Paul following a domestic violence investigation into two February fights with her former partner, Dakota Mortensen.
- Breanne Miller, a lawyer in the district attorney's Family Protection Unit, explained that some incidents occurred over three years ago, barring prosecution, while others lacked sufficient evidence or specificity.
- Attorney Eric Swinyard argued at an April 7 hearing that Mortensen was the aggressor in one February fight, which the lawyer called "the truck tussle," though both individuals have filed dueling petitions for protective orders.
- This decision does not impact the temporary protective order against Paul, which remains in effect as a Beehive State official recently ruled the mother of three may only have supervised visits with her toddler son.
- A protective order hearing is scheduled for April 30, while Paul's domestic situation previously prompted ABC to scrap a season of "The Bachelorette" and Hulu to pause filming of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
