What happened to Ashley Lytton's husband Jason Lytton?
Jason Lytton was booked in 2021 on 100 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. But he was eventually indicted on two misdemeanor counts of voyeurism, a third-degree felony of obstructing justice and 10 counts of second-degree felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Lytton was exposed when hundreds of compromising photographs of minor girls were discovered in his device. After securing a search warrant, the police came across over 1,000 of these pictures on Jason’s phone.
In 2022, Jason secured a plea deal where he pleaded guilty to two voyeurism charges and one of the second-degree felony charges of sexually exploiting a minor.
According to the deal, he said he would spend 329 days in Salt Lake County Jail and submit to two years of supervised probation. The deal also involved Jason not being allowed access to the internet and requiring him to fulfill a cognitive behavioral program and a mental health evaluation.
He was also required to attend a parenting class and comply with the conditions of Group A Sex Offenders.
