...Utah, is sometimes difficult to prove and does not carry the heavy penalties found in child abuse laws. Gary Gale, an Ogden, Utah defense attorney who has worked in several high-profile cases involving polygamy, knows this well. In January, Gale represented a Brigham, Utah, man, who, though a bigamist, was facing four first-degree felony counts for rape of his young wife. (Utah recently raised the age of consent from 14 to 16 and it is illegal for a person of authority or trust to have sex with anyone under 18.) Gayle's client took a plea agreement...
...hush-hush, as his lawyers won a Mexican divorce from his estranged wife, Giuliana. In 1957 the producer and his star were married by proxy in Mexico, with two male attorneys standing in for them. But the Italian government forced the annulment of their marriage and branded Ponti a bigamist. The couple had to live either abroad or secretly in Italy, until 1966 when they became French citizens, the certificate personally signed by Prime Minister Georges Pompidou, and were able to be married there.

...knew a man - short, bald, of undetectable charm - who was a virtual bigamist.

His first wife, Jennifer Call, a fellow Harvard graduate, moved out in 1999 after she learned he'd been telling co-workers at Scient that she had died of cancer. She made that discovery when she fielded several condolence calls...
...Bill" Rockefeller, crack shot and con artist, claimed to be a medical doctor and, in the gullible towns of upstate New York and farther west, promised to cure any cancer for $25. Eventually, "Doc" Rockefeller (who made a habit of impregnating the servant girl at home) became a bigamist and started a separate family as "Doctor Levingston"--the name that appears on his tombstone. All his life, Big Bill loved money, and when he had it, he tied the bills in bundles with twine and stacked them in a dresser drawer like cordwood. It was from his charlatan/shaman father that...
