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.
Who is Ashley Lytton and what happened to her in Betrayal: A Father's Secret?
Ashley Lytton is a Utah-based mother of three children, and the three-episode documentary Betrayal: A Father's Secret follows her story of when she uncovered a secret folder on her husband's laptop. Jason Lyttle was arrested in 2021 as a s*xual offender, and this arrest was made due to Ashley's efforts.
Betrayal: A Father's Secret conducts interviews and uses archival footage and even some scene recreations to narrate the story. The docu-series involves Ashley, her family and children, her therapist, and the officers she contacted against her husband.
Ashley and Jason were happily married and lived in Riverton, Utah. According to her story, Jason was a wonderful father to the two children she had before the marriage. They later had a third son together. However, all this changed when she accidentally logged on to Jason's iCloud account.
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.
