A Manhattan woman faces felony charges in the Bronx after marrying 10 different men across an 11-year span — without getting a single divorce from any of her “husbands,” according to a criminal complaint.
Liana Barrientos, 39, is charged with filing a fraudulent marriage license application and a bogus marriage license, said the Bronx District Attorney’s office.
She was due for a Friday arraignment in Bronx Supreme Court on two charges of filing a false instrument. Each count carries a maximum sentence of four years for the not-so-blushing bride.
The native of the Dominican Republic was outed as a serial spouse following a probe of her most recent nuptials in March 2010, the complaint charged.
She swore that the not-so-blessed union was her first trip down the aisle, but authorities said Barrientos was never a bridesmaid and always a bride.
Her inability to say “I don’t” was finally noted by officials after the marriage to a Bronx man named Salle Keita.
“The defendant … stated in sum and substance that she did marry Mr. Keita and that was her first and only marriage,” according to the complaint.
A Bronx detective uncovered nine previous marriage licenses for Barrientos, including a half-dozen issued in the span of six busy months, the court documents filed last November charged.
