New York Woman Charged with Bigamy After Failing to Divorce Previous Husband
A South Dayton, New York, woman married her third husband without lawfully getting a divorce from her second spouse. Keri A. Woltz has been charged with bigamy and unlawfully procuring a marriage license. In New York, bigamy is punishable by up to four years in prison.
Detective Nathan Root of the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office, told The Buffalo News that he got the case after Woltz’s “present” husband filed a report on a tip he was given. To which husband Root is referring, is not clear.
Woltz, who is using the surname of her second husband, said she assumed he had filed for divorce and she simply never checked the paperwork.
