Taylor Frankie Paul will not be facing new charges after Utah police concluded their investigations into several domestic violence incidents tied to the reality star.
Salt Lake County District Attorney’s office declined to file new charges for the “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star, 31, due to an “evidentiary issue” in the investigations led by the Draper Police and West Jordan Police Departments, according to a press release.
In regards to the West Jordan investigations, the DA’s office claimed “the complainant in these cases reported several incidents – some of which occurred more than three years ago.”
However, minor offenses that allegedly happened longer than two years ago are “barred by the statute of limitations.”
The statement continues, specifically noting that the allegations against Paul “do not rise to the level of criminal offenses.”
“The remaining incidents lack sufficient evidence to support filing criminal charges where the State must be able to prove such allegations beyond a reasonable date. Such incidents lack specificity as to when and what actually occurred or corroboration,” the message reads.
A rep for Paul did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The celeb made headlines in March after it was first reported that filming on the forthcoming season of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” was halted due to two instances of an alleged domestic violence altercation involving Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen.
On March 19, a video was released showing Paul’s violent 2023 encounter with Mortensen. In the clip, she can be seen hurling several barstool chairs at her ex and attempting to put him in a headlock all while her daughter Indy, now 8, was present in the room.
Paul — who, at the time, was set to star in Season 22 of ABC’s “The Bachelorette” — then faced another blow as the network abruptly canceled her leading season due to the allegations.
It was later revealed on March 25 that Paul was under a third domestic violence investigation being led by the West Jordan Police Department in addition to the two investigations being pursued by Draper Police in Utah.
While the district attorney’s decision is certainly a win for Paul, the influencer mom’s legal woes are not yet finished.
Paul currently remains embroiled in a heated custody battle with Mortensen, 33, after he petitioned the courts for an order of protection against her.
In a devastating blow, Mortensen was granted temporary custody of their 2-year-old son, Ever.
In the most recent update on their case, a judge decided to grant Paul — who is also mom to son, Ocean, 5, whom she shares with her ex-husband Tate Paul — “supervised” visitation with the toddler due to concerns regarding her “volatile” behavior.
