Overview
- - The Draper City Prosecutor said there is not enough corroborating evidence to charge either Taylor Frankie Paul or her ex, Dakota Mortensen, and flagged inconsistencies in both of their statements.
- - The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office earlier declined to charge Paul after screening reports from Draper and West Jordan police, citing weak evidence and some incidents that were too old to prosecute.
- - Police released records that include photos of injuries to both, body‑camera video, and text messages, and 911 audio captured their 2‑year‑old son crying during a February dispute.
- - In family court, Mortensen holds temporary custody of their son and Paul is limited to supervised visits, with competing temporary protective orders in place and a hearing scheduled to reassess the arrangement on April 30.
- - The fallout continues in TV projects as ABC pulled Paul’s planned Bachelorette season, Hulu’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives paused filming, and a source says Paul wants production to resume while NBC reports Mortensen will be edited out of Vanderpump Villa.
