Thankfully, the public has seen this act before and knows who he is and sadly, many will recognize this pattern of manipulation, both in his actions on the show, and from their own experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Why isn&#8217;t Taylor Frankie Paul facing charges?<\/h2>\n<p>As for her most recent charges, the prosecutor stated: &#8220;The complainant in these cases reported several incidents \u2013 some of which occurred more than three years ago. Any incidents of misdemeanor offenses which are alleged to have occurred more than two years ago are barred by the statute of limitations. Incidents which are alleged to have occurred within the statute of limitations have also been reviewed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The DA added: \u201cSeveral incidents that were submitted 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 doubt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Such incidents lack specificity as to when and what actually occurred or corroboration. Based on the evidence submitted for screening by the Draper Police Department and West Jordan Police Department, the Salt Lake County District Attorney\u2019s Office declines to file any charges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\"><a
