Draper City Drops Domestic Violence Charges

About this episode

Draper City prosecutors have decided not to press charges against Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, in their domestic violence probe. The Salt Lake County District Attorneys office had previously declined charges due to lack of evidence. The couple, who share a two-year-old son, have been involved in on-and-off drama, with Paul previously pleading guilty to aggravated assault on Mortensen. Despite photos and texts suggesting violence, officials found insufficient evidence for court. A protective order against Paul remains active, with a hearing set for April 30th.

It's April 17th. Welcome to Canada News Today, powered by AI. Draper City prosecutors just dropped a big update on that domestic violence probe involving Taylor, Frankie Paul, and her ex, Dakota Mortensen, from the secret lives of Mormon wives. After reviewing police findings, they decided there's not enough evidence to charge either one over assault claims from incidents this year and back. February, meanwhile, the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office already said no to charges against Paul two days earlier, pointing out some reports were. Too old or lacked details to prove crimes. Police and Draper in West Jordan looked into allegations flying both ways between the couple who share a two-year-old son named Ever. Fans of the show know their on and off drama has been front and center, especially since Paul split from her ex-husband date in 2022. She also has an eight-year-old daughter Indy and a five-year-old son Ocean from that marriage. This all hits close after Paul pleaded guilty to aggravated assault on Mortensen in 2023, when she got probation for throwing a chair.

That clipped her kid. Records just released show photos of Mortensen, with scratches, a bloody nose, and Paul with bruises on her forehead, neck and elbow, plus body cam. Footage and old text, but officials say nothing adds up enough for court. That protective order Mortensen got against Paul is still active for now, with a hearing set for April 30th that can make it permanent or shift. Things on supervised visits with their son. Keeps the tension rolling off screen too.
