Jessi Draper shared a message of support for her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives costar Taylor Frankie Paul after a district attorney decision. In February, two Utah police departments opened separate domestic violence investigations involving Paul and her ex-boyfriend. The Salt Lake County District Attorney later announced it would not pursue charges in those investigations. The couple’s related family-court matters, including custody and protective order requests, remain active.
Reported facts:
- Two Utah police departments, identified in reporting as Draper City and West Jordan, opened separate domestic violence investigations in February involving Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex-boyfriend.
- The Salt Lake County District Attorney announced it would not pursue charges in those investigations, noting several alleged incidents were reported as occurring more than two years earlier and fell outside the statute of limitations.
- The district attorney’s office stated the investigations would not affect Paul’s existing probation status from a prior 2023 case and that no additional individuals were screened for charges.
- In a family-court hearing, a judge granted the ex-boyfriend custody of their child and set supervised visitation for Paul; the court will review competing protective orders at the next hearing on April 30.
Summary:
Officials reported the separate investigations opened earlier this year will not lead to new charges, in part because some incidents were reported as occurring outside the statute of limitations. The parties continue to have active family-court procedures, and an April 30 hearing will review custody arrangements and competing protective orders.
