Eunice Lopez: Marriage Mill
MIAMI - The honeymoons are over for a 26-year-old woman who authorities say has at least 10 husbands.
Eunice Lopez has been charged with bigamy, accused of marrying 10 men between 2002 and 2006 - and never divorcing any of them, immigration authorities say, the Miami Herald reported over the weekend.
Lopez - who arrived in South Florida from Cuba in 2002 and is a legal U.S. resident - charged her husbands big bucks to help them secure legal status and continued asking for money long after the weddings, threatening to expose them if they didn’t pay.
Terry Chavez, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade office of the state attorney, said the state attorney’s office began investigating after being tipped off by federal immigration agents.
Lopez was released on $18,000 bond; she could not be reached for comment.
It was not known if she had a lawyer.
