A bizarre story out of Florida has caught the internet’s attention, after it was revealed that Henry Betsey Jr. was arrested for felony bigamy. Betsey is facing charges after it came to light that he had three wives—each from different counties—all at the same time.
According to ABC Action News, Betsey’s three wives were unaware they were all married to the same man. The shocking discovery unfolded when each woman learned they had been deceived by Betsey, who had met them on separate dating apps. They all tied the knot with him in different courthouses across Florida, each believing they were his only spouse.
Tonya Betsey, who met Henry on Tinder in 2020, was the first to uncover the truth. The two were married at the Duval County Courthouse on November 24, 2020. However, despite still being married to Tonya, Henry later met Brandi Betsey on the app Stir and married her in Manatee County on February 22, 2022. Not long after, he connected with Michele Betsey through Match.com and married her in Hernando County on November 23, 2022, while still married to both Tonya and Brandi.
The truth came out when Tonya grew suspicious and started investigating county records online. Through her research, she discovered the other marriages, leading her to file a police report. This prompted authorities to charge Henry with felony bigamy, and he was arrested in Seminole County.
Reports reveal that Henry had been targeting recently divorced women on dating platforms like Bumble, where he presented himself as a charming, attentive man eager to settle down. But behind the scenes, he was orchestrating quick weddings, using manipulation tactics, and looking for fast access to money.
According to Brandi, Henry attempted to convince her to open a joint bank account just five days into their marriage. When she resisted and kicked him out after his verbal aggression, it became clear to her that something was wrong.
As of now, Henry is seeking divorce from Tonya and is attempting to get annulments from Michele and Brandi. The case has raised serious questions about online dating, trust, and the ease with which some people can manipulate others into committing to false marriages.
This is a developing story, and authorities are continuing to investigate as more details emerge. Henry Betsey Jr.’s name is now being searched statewide, with many eager to see what further revelations will come to light.
