A stain on the reputation of the normally law abiding Filipinos in the UK. No mention about deporting him ?

He was sentenced to eight months imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, and 120 hours community service.

i think he got off really lightly, considering what the sham marriage lot usually get. (1yr + in prison)

Thats what I thought - probably because he put his hands up - I don't agree with leniency its easy to say sorry when there's a cast iron case against you.

what makes it even worse, he actually got married :doh and he was already married, double the penalty :angry:
