What specific charges were brought against Kody Brown in the recent trial?

1. No clear reporting of a “recent trial” or specific charges

Among the supplied articles, there is no concrete account of a recent criminal trial that produced specific charges against Kody Brown. Reality Tea explicitly says Kody Brown “was never arrested,” directly challenging social-media claims of an arrest ^[1]. Likewise, several summaries recount past investigations (not prosecutions) tied to the Browns’ polygamous lifestyle but do not document a recent indictment or court conviction for Kody Brown ^{[2] [3]}.

2. What past legal exposure the sources do describe

The most detailed, sourced background in the collection concerns earlier probes into bigamy and polygamy tied to the Sister Wives family. Wikipedia’s entry on Brown v. Buhman recounts that Utah police in 2010 announced an investigation into possible bigamy charges, and it details legal challenges over state polygamy laws brought by Kody and his wives — but that reporting centers on civil constitutional litigation and historical investigations rather than a recent criminal trial with enumerated counts ^[2].

3. Contradictory or unreliable outlets in the sample

Not all items in the set are consistent. A sensationalized page claims Kody was arrested on financial-misconduct charges ^[4], but Reality Tea and other aggregators counter that he was never formally arrested or charged ^{[1] [3]}. These contradictions show that some outlets in the sample may be repeating rumor or click-driven content; the concrete, sourced refutation in Reality Tea is the stronger refutation within the provided pool ^[1].

4. What the supplied sources explicitly refute or do not mention

Reality Tea’s piece flatly states Kody Brown was never arrested despite Facebook rumors ^[1]. Other items similarly conclude that no formal charges were ever filed stemming from the family’s earlier 2013/2010 probes ^{[2] [3]}. The supplied sources therefore either refute or do not mention any modern criminal indictment or list of charges against Kody Brown; none provide a verified charging document, indictment number, or count sheet ^{[2] [1] [3]}.

5. How to read the discrepancy: plausible explanations and agendas

The mixed coverage suggests a few dynamics: (a) recurring public interest in the Browns’ polygamy invites speculation and rumors that some sites amplify without documentary proof ^{[4] [5]}; (b) outlets focused on entertainment and social-media aggregation often recycle unverified claims for clicks, while fact-checking or established outlets push back ^{[1] [3]}; and (c) legal history around Brown v. Buhman and earlier police inquiries is often conflated with contemporary criminal proceedings in summaries that lack nuance ^[2].

6. What a reader should do next to verify any “recent trial” claims

Given the absence of a cited trial or charges in the provided materials, a responsible next step is to seek primary documents (court dockets), local court records in the relevant jurisdiction, or reporting from established news organizations that publish indictment documents or prosecutor statements. The sources here either deny an arrest ^[1] or recount older legal matters without showing modern charges ^{[2] [3]}.

Limitations: The analysis above relies solely on the supplied search results; available sources do not mention any specific criminal charges filed against Kody Brown in a recent trial and do not provide indictment details or count language to cite ^{[2] [1] [3]}.
