Overview
- Paul, who posted on Instagram Sunday, April 19, said she was told “all charges dropped” and shared photos describing the “ugly parts” of her healing.
- Salt Lake County prosecutors on April 14 declined to file new criminal charges after screening referrals from Draper and West Jordan police tied to incidents with ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.
- The district attorney’s office said some West Jordan allegations fell outside Utah’s statute of limitations for minor offenses, and remaining reports lacked clear details or corroboration to meet the criminal standard.
- Family court orders remain in place after an April 7 hearing that gave Mortensen temporary custody of their son, Ever, and limited Paul to up to eight hours a week of supervised visits until a scheduled April 30 review.
- The leaked 2023 video and renewed scrutiny also led ABC to pull a filmed season of The Bachelorette featuring Paul and prompted production on Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to pause.
