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 and he was already married, double the penalty

Gave false info by not declaring himself already married on his visa application. He'd get six of the best in Singapore or Malaysia not a spot of litter picking.

Beats me why anyone would do bigamy. I mean - TWO mothers in laws?
