Mary Turner Thomson, a Scottish mother, found out that her husband had multiple other wives and 13 children. She was scammed out of nearly £200,000 by the conman who posed as a CIA agent. The story is now being featured in a documentary series on ITV.
A Scots mum who discovered her "loving" husband had multiple other wives and 13 children is set to feature in a new documentary. Mary Turner Thomson first met American man William Allen Jordan online in 2000 before getting married and having two kids together.
He later pleaded guilty to bigamy, obtaining funds through deception and failing to register as a sex offender. Jordan served two-and-a-half years in prison in the UK before being deported back to New Jersey. "I said no but we did eventually get engaged then we were married for four years. After six months of being together, I fell pregnant, which was a huge surprise because he told me he was infertile."
He showed her alleged proof of his job, including wage slips, and within six months of them meeting the couple were pregnant with their first child, Eilidh. They lived as a family with Mary's oldest daughter Robyn, from a previous relationship.
