I know I bang the drum a bit about Facebook and other social media - but just to prove a point, this week a bigamist from Bristol was tracked down and prosecuted after being dim enough to share photos of his new bride on Facebook, despite the fact that he hadn't divorced his first wife. Neither of the women knew anything about his deception or the other wife.
Adrian Linham happily married his second wife, Hayley, in Mexico but failed to mention he was already married. Meanwhile his first wife, Liz, was used to him 'working away on business'. The first she knew about his new marriage was when his mother wrote to say how sorry she was about the divorce and to let her know that he had remarried.
Adrian Linham's solicitor could only say that he had got carried away. "He was putting the cart before the horse".
He was sentenced by North Somerset magistrates for 18 weeks. He has now started divorce proceedings, presumably from his jail cell...
