A man was exposed as a bigamist when his first wife found pictures about his second marriage on Facebook.
Brian Frain, 36, was already married when he tied the knot with the second wife Louise Meredith, but kept that secret from Meredith, the Mirror reports.
According to the report, when Frain’s first wife Anne-Marie Sim tried to track him down to get a divorce five years after they split, she spotted the incriminating picture on Facebook taken in 2009, at the same registry office in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester, where they had tied the knot.
Meredith reportedly knew nothing about the first marriage and considered her wedding with Frain as his first.
Prosecutor David Curtis said that Frain had admitted to police he had wed but due to the amount of time that had passed, Frain assumed he was no longer married to Marie Sim. Curtis further said that Frain did not inform the registry office and took no legal advice.
Frain admitted bigamy and accepted that he was ignorant.
The report added that Frain was bailed until August 7. (ANI)
