In a striking case, a Virginia court recently sentenced a man named Robert Kinsey to a year in jail for bigamy. Kinsey had been married seven times, with four of those marriages occurring simultaneously. The charge stemmed from his marriage to wife number six, Linda Grant, while still being married to wife five, Sarah Mitchell. Kinsey had already served four months, leaving him with around eight more months behind bars. Remarkably, it was wife number seven, Mary Evans, who initially brought the charge against him, as he had married her while still wed to Linda. Due to a loophole in Virginia law, her case was not pursued. Nonetheless, the fact that Kinsey received any sentence at all is a significant step for the women involved, as most bigamists often escape with minimal consequences.
Both Mary and Linda testified during the trial, while two other women Kinsey had been involved with—Jessica and Ashley—observed the proceedings. The four women gathered for dinner the night before the trial, sharing their experiences and reflecting on Kinsey’s audacity.
A Daring Balancing Act
Consider this scenario: While Kinsey and his two teenage children resided in Chesapeake, Virginia, his daughter was graduating from high school. At that time, he was still married to Linda but had instructed her to leave. He was also dating Mary and Jessica. Mary attended the graduation, while Sarah—the mother of his daughter—was also present. Since Sarah was staying at Kinsey’s house, Mary opted to book a hotel nearby. Meanwhile, Jessica stopped by the home to deliver a gift to the daughter and later had dinner with Kinsey while Mary remained just a few blocks away. Everyone involved was aware of the situation, yet none spoke up.
A Parallel Story
My former partner, Alex Turner, displayed similar brazen behavior. After I left him in California, he quickly married another woman, Sue Lang, just ten days later, marking his second act of bigamy. Turner had been involved with Sue since the early 1990s while simultaneously marrying both Jane Doe and myself. Remarkably, the day after marrying Sue, a woman from New York whom he had been deceiving came to visit him—not for a friendly chat.
Both Kinsey and Turner exhibited no signs of remorse for their actions. Their lack of conscience and empathy allowed them to pursue their desires without a second thought. In fact, Kinsey demonstrated no regret in the courtroom.
