DA Reviews Taylor Frankie Paul Case for Enhanced Charges After Bodycam Release

Her 2023 plea deal puts any new domestic‑violence charge at risk of enhancement.

Overview

  • New police bodycam obtained by TMZ shows Dakota Mortensen asking officers to arrest him instead as Taylor Frankie Paul is taken into custody with a child watching.
  • A separate video shows officers returning to the home to seize a metal barstool as evidence and to photograph a dented wall from the 2023 fight.
  • Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill requested full investigative files to screen recent allegations for charges that could be enhanced under her prior plea.
  • Draper police said the domestic‑assault inquiry remains open with allegations from both parties and recent contacts documented by officers.
  • Court records show Mortensen won temporary custody and a protective order, and major networks paused or pulled shows featuring Paul after the videos surfaced.
