I'll wed again says serial bigamist

12 April 2012

A serial bigamist has vowed to get a divorce before she weds again after being spared jail for marrying illegally for a fourth time.

Former glamour model Emily Horne, 30, has tied the knot on five occasions without ever applying for an annulment.

She admitted bigamy for the fourth time but walked free from Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court with a 10-month suspended sentence.

Horne was described by Judge Mushtaq Khokhar as a "manipulative woman" who had "undermined the institution of marriage".

But the judge said he had decided not to jail her because she had made progress in the last six months since being prescribed with medication for a personality disorder.

Horne said: "I am feeling great. I have been vindicated. I think next time I should get a divorce."

Horne, who changed her name on marriage certificates to avoid detection, only told her "husband" Ashley Baker that she was already married as they set off on their honeymoon.

The former adult actress was previously sentenced to six months in prison at Ipswich Crown Court in 2004 for bigamy.

The court heard that Horne, who lives in the West Midlands, had married four men by the age of 23.

Paul Hodgkinson, defending, said: "Her decision making was affected by her mental health. She is an attention seeker and she is a lady with emotional problems but she has had to put up with a great deal of trauma in her life. She is sorry for what she has done and she is sorry for the pain she has caused to the men and their families."
