Taylor Frankie Paul, a Mormon #MomTok influencer with four million followers on the social-media app, was arrested outside of Salt Lake City last week on charges relating to domestic violence.

Police arrested Paul on February 17 for "the misdemeanor charges of assault, criminal mischief and commission of domestic violence in the presence of a child," according to a statement the Herriman City Police Department released on Friday afternoon.

She was taken into custody and booked in the Salt Lake County Jail.

Following the 28-year-old's arrest, detectives received "additional video evidence" that was referred to the District Attorney's Office of Salt Lake County to be screened for felony-assault charges, as well as a misdemeanor charge of reckless child abuse, the statement said.

"This evidence also suggests that during the incident, Ms. Paul's minor child was injured by an action of Ms. Paul," the statement continues.

Paul did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Paul, who shares two children with her ex-husband, Tate Paul, is a prominent figure on "#MomTok," a subcommunity where mothers document the ins and outs of parenthood. Paul refers to herself as Mormon in her TikTok videos, saying in some that she "struggles" with monogamy but is "still a member."

As Insider previously reported, the influencer became the center of a controversy last year when she revealed her and her ex-husband's involvement in a "soft-swinging" community. Per Paul's description, she and her ex-husband could be sexually intimate with other members, but agreed not to go "all the way" with anyone other than their spouse.

According to a TikTok livestream posted in May 2022, Paul implied that she slept with another community member without her husband's consent, thus leading to their divorce.
