Wife discovers of her husband's marriage to a Gambian teenager on Facebook (at the SAME wedding venue with hers)

The Facebook Photo: Stephen Smith, 52 and his new bride Awa Jobarteh, 19

How do i start this story? Okay! Here is what happened; 

Stephen Smith (a factory worker) pictured above met his wife Nicolette in 2001 after his first divorce and married her in December 2005. The marriage broke down two years later and then he went missing without a word to Nicolette's solicitors in response to the divorce proceedings.

Nicolette who has been left in financial ruin after her marriage to Stephen brokedown discovered via Facebook that her husband had been married to a 19-year-old Gambian; Awa Jobarteh. Not only did it send a cold chill down her spin, she was also devastated when she noticed that her husband married his young Gambian bride at the same African register office where she tied the knot with him seven years earlier. 

Ms Smith then called and reported to the police when she found out he had remarried but incredibly, her cheating former partner has avoided jail and claimed he was the victim thou he (Smith) admitted a charge of bigamy but said he had thought he was divorced and that his divorce was automatic. *Hehehe*

Meanwhile, Stephen Smith after his marriage to his young bride in November 07, 2012,  took her to the UK and then 2 days after arriving the UK, she duped and abandoned him and flew away and has never been traced.

The court heard that the day before the wedding Smith signed a petition for divorce from his second wife, which carried a signature purporting to be by Nicolette - but it was faked.

     
She was declared bankrupt when Smith failed to pay the mortgage and is still waiting for her husband to sign divorce papers, Teesside Crown Court was told.

The 52-year-old was prosecuted for bigamy after he admitted 'hastily' rushing down the aisle with his third wife because he was in love.

Nicolette admitted she was disappointed that he was given a six-month prison sentence suspended for two years with 150 hours' unpaid work.

'I feel as though he's got away with this and has been portrayed as some kind of victim himself after all that he's put me through. He knew if he responded to my divorce petition, he'd give away where he'd been hiding,' she said.

Discussing the way he was dumped by his new bride she told The Sun: 'She looked so young in the pictures and he looked a little pathetic. I don't know what else he could have expected'.

I thought these things happen only in Africa! *rolling my eyes in wonders*. He had to travel about 2944 miles (UK to Gambia) and there he found a dubious love. Hehehe
