ABC News Studios' new docu-series Betrayal: A Father's Secret will be released on Hulu on July 30, 2024. It is based on iHeart Podcasts and Glass Entertainment's popular crime podcast Betrayal. It is also a sequel to ABC's docu-series Betrayal: The Perfect Husband, based on the same podcast.

The documentary revolves around Ashley Lytton narrating her side of the story about how she found out her husband Jason's disturbing secret. She logged onto his iCloud account to find a hidden folder filled with multiple compromising pictures of teenage girls.

Jason Lytton was sentenced in 2021 as a s*xual offender and is currently released from Salt Lake County Jail and is living in Utah. On the other hand, Ashley Lytton is still based in Riverton, Utah. There is very little public information about her, keeping in mind her privacy after the scandalous charges against her husband.

Ashley discovered many compromising pictures of young teenage girls in a hidden folder on Jason's laptop. She was shocked at this and started fearing for her safety and that of her children. In the documentary trailer, she mentions that Jason would never have let her expose that side of him.

Ashley Lytton decided to inform the cops about her findings. She called her husband to a neutral location away from their home and organized a sting operation, after which Jason was taken in. An official search of his laptop verified Ashley's accusation against him.


Where are Ashley and Jason Lytton as of today?

Jason Lytton was sentenced in 2021 on 100 felony counts of s*xual crimes and served his sentence in Salt Lake County Jail. He obtained parole in August 2023 and now lives in Herriman, Utah. He maintains a low profile, and little is known about his current activities.

Similarly, as per the documentary, Ashley Lytton is also based in Utah, but not much is known about her as she has kept her life private after the shocking turn of events.
