Overview
- West Jordan police, contacted last month by Dakota Mortensen about a 2024 encounter, say they are reviewing several videos and so far have only his account.
- Investigators say they have spoken with Taylor Frankie Paul’s attorney but not with Paul and have asked for a written statement or an interview.
- The Draper City Police Department confirms a separate open domestic assault investigation tied to February 24–25, with allegations made by both parties.
- Salt Lake County District Attorney Sam Gill said Tuesday his office requested all investigative files to screen charges that could be increased because Paul took a 2023 plea in abeyance, a deal that delays conviction while she serves probation.
- After TMZ published video from the 2023 case, ABC canceled the upcoming Bachelorette season that was set to star Paul and filming of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives paused as both sides issued dueling statements and Mortensen reportedly sought a protective order.
