Summary
A judge ended Taylor Frankie Paul’s probation and amended her aggravated assault felony to a Class A misdemeanor, closing the case tied to her 2023 arrest.
Paul, 32, said on Instagram that the three-year term was unusually long for a first offense and described domestic violence as a cycle people may not recognize until they are trapped in it.
The case stemmed from an alleged altercation with then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen; Paul pleaded guilty to assault in a deal that dismissed other charges related to child abuse.
Leaked March arrest footage showed Paul throwing chairs at Mortensen in front of her daughter, and she temporarily lost custody of son Ever before later receiving visitation rights.
An April judge called the pair’s relationship “very toxic,” imposed mutual protective orders requiring them to stay 100 feet apart, and urged them to focus on coparenting.
