Man caught with three marriages at the same time has fate revealed

Love is not admissible evidence

A man who got caught being married three times has learned what his fate will be as he was sentenced in court.

Some people have a lot of love to share with the world, but when it comes to marriage, it's best to keep it between you and one other person.

That's not what Florida man Henry Betsey, Jr. did after he met three women on different internet dating sites and ended up marrying them all within the span of around two years.

According to ABC, the 50-year-old man married wife number one Tonya in 2020 after meeting her on Tinder, while two years later he got hitched to a woman named Brandy after speaking to her on an app called Stir.

Then a few months later he tied the knot with Michele after meeting her on Match.com, having only known her for a few weeks when they got together.

While some people live double lives with two separate families, Henry was living a triple existence as all three of his wives didn't know the other existed.

The bloke got rumbled when Tonya started looking up his name in court records and discovered that he had married other women after getting together with her.

She said: "I just started county by county, putting in his name. And that's when I came up with the marriage to Michele and the marriage to Brandy."

Tonya got in touch with Michele to warn her that their husband was three-timing them, with Michele saying that she 'had no idea' Tonya was still married to Henry.

Michele got in touch with the police and Henry was arrested for bigamy, with him recently being sentenced by a judge after he pleaded guilty.

The judge said that since Betsey had no other criminal convictions, his fate would be fairly lenient, with the man sentenced to two years probation with eight days credit for time served.

The 50-year-old was also instructed to complete a mental health evaluation and go on a battery intervention program, and he is not to contact the three women he married.

He currently has an unresolved case in Virginia after he was arrested for the assault and battery of a friend or family member.

Addressing the court, Henry said: "First and foremost, I want to apologize to the ladies and I want to apologize to the court administration and to my family and friends that had to be involved in this.

"Because ultimately this is something that I didn’t wish to be part of."

However, his wives aren't buying it as Michele said that the Florida man's actions before he got caught were 'not a mistake' and rather 'a deliberate choice.'

The women said they'd hoped for a 'stronger sentence', but accepted the decision and explained that Henry becoming a convicted felon felt like 'vindication.'
