Mormon influencer Taylor Frankie Paul reaches plea deal in domestic violence case Instagram: taylorfrankiepaulTikToker Taylor Frankie Paul has reached a plea deal after an arrest earlier this year saw her charged with assault, criminal mischief, and commission of domestic violence in the presence of a child. Utah content creator Taylor Frankie Paul is known on TikTok as \u201cMormon Mom\u201d and had gained a large following when she was arrested in a domestic violence case involving her boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. Police arriving at Paul\u2019s house in February 2023 discovered the couple had gotten into an argument that escalated when Paul attempted to stop Mortensen from leaving, resulting in the latter \u201cshoving\u201d an intoxicated Paul out of the way. Video evidence collected from the house suggested that Paul had then thrown various objects at her boyfriend, including \u201cheavy metal chairs\u201d \u2014 one of which struck her five-year-old daughter in the head, resulting in a \u201cgoose-egg\u201d injury to her head. Now Paul has reached a plea deal and is working towards \u201chealing,\u201d calling the case her \u201crock-bottom\u201d but stating it \u201cactually helped\u201d in some ways as she was able to get the help and support she needed. Paul\u2019s plea deal will see her obtain both a substance abuse and domestic violence evaluation, completing all recommended treatment over the next three years. This is in abeyance to a third-degree felony count of aggravated assault, as reported by The Salt Lake Tribune. As a part of the plea, four other charges were dropped, including two felony counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child and a misdemeanor count of both child abuse and criminal mischief. In an Instagram story, Paul wrote, \u201cThe last few weeks have been the hardest weeks of my life. I wanted to thank all of those who have been by my side, those who reached out, and the strangers that stopped to hug me.\u201d Thanking her fans for giving her \u201cgrace at this very difficult time,\u201d Paul said she has since started taking antidepressants and has been \u201cworking on healing, therapy, a blessing, starting classes,\u201d and is already \u201cstarting to feel progress.\u201d She is also still together with Mortensen, who regularly appears on her social media.
