A Florida man who illegally juggled secret marriages to three unsuspecting women he met on dating apps managed to escape jail time after his deception was unearthed.

Henry Betsey Jr., 50, was sentenced to two years’ probation on Thursday after he pleaded “no contest” to felony bigamy in May, ABC Action News reported.

Along with his sentence of two years’ probation, Judge Charles B. Merritt Jr. ordered Betsey to perform 100 hours of community service, to complete a mental health evaluation, and to stay off social media and dating websites.

Not much of a penalty for screwing up 3 people's lives.

Also, black dude, 3 white women.....just sayin'

This episode of Movin On about a trucker with two wives comes to mind.

It’s quite funny.

Look at the offender’s eye color, he’s got white blood mixed in his DNA.

Anyone willingly engaged in 3 marriages at the same time certainly deserves more punishment, he could be guilty by reason of insanity, anyone who would engage in 3 marriages at the same time must have some degree of mental illness.

My first thought for these types of stories is “one is too many! What an idiot!”

My gosh. He’s got the system down cold. On the other hand, it takes a professional liar to even attempt something like this. You have to have the morals of an Alleycat, and a heart of stone.

Maybe, a long time ago, somebody he trusted betrayed him in a very personal way, so he spends the rest of his social life trying to “even the score” and restore what he thinks was taken from him. Speculation aside, he is very lucky none of these 3 women seem the type to “murderize’ him, after being treated with such disregard.
