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.

“anyone who would engage in 3 marriages at the same time must have some degree of mental illness”

There’s some people in Utah that might disagree with that.

Also, there’s been a reality TV show made out of this sickness.....shows how trashy television has become nowadays.

Sounds to me like he’s got an issue with white females.

Bigamy is one wife too many.

So is monogamy.

I’ve often wondered what black men’s obsession with white women is. I think it’s because at one time they were the forbidden fruit. Taboo. Emmitt Till was lynched for allegedly looking at one. But today you can hardly swing a dead cat without hitting one with a white girl on his arm. The more money they have, the prettier the blondes.

“TV Ads show white women want to marry black men!”

Unless they’re lesbian and then the white women want a black woman. But that’s balanced by the gay white guy with a gay black guy.

I remember a story from back in the 80’s of a long haul trucker that had two separate families on opposite coasts and wasn’t discovered until he died...............

When you consider most black women today, can you blame them?

He should be a Muslim, and them he would have gotten away with it as a protected religious activity? ( sarc.)

It’s still a status symbol for most black men, especially for the black men who don’t expect to be accepted by white people.

My choice for punishment would be to have all three women housed in the same household with him for a period of a year.

He would be begging for mere prison.

A man can have as many wives as he wants here in the US - but only one at a time. If at all possible, never arrange that former wives can get together and discuss your failures and shortcomings.

That cannot end well.

“I’ve often wondered what black men’s obsession with white women is.”

Not just White women, women of just about any race BUT black.....and I used to wonder the same thing....when I was younger.

My observation is black men avoid black women because they can be like a lot of black men, unpredictable and lack impulse control.

I’ve seen 1st hand things black women have done that most white women would never think of doing.

When’s the last time you saw a white female trash a convenience store or fast food restaurant?

Black women seem to treat that behavior as a hobby.

This occurred in Florida.

There was no mention of his Georgia wives

Probably not pregnant, hopefully didn’t get any tattoos, they should get checked for STDs though to be safe.

Man converts to Islam, gets to legally keep his 3 wives; court apologizes & pays his legal and court fees.
