A Tasmanian man has avoided jail after admitting being a bigamist.
Nicholas Trikilis, 44, of Conningham admitted forging divorce papers so he could marry a woman in 2008. He submitted a wedding photograph to a local paper where it was spotted by his first wife who then complained to police. He pleaded guilty in the Hobart Magistrates Court to bigamy, forgery and giving false information.
Magistrate Michael Daly said most people would call the crimes stupid but the law says they are undoubtedly criminal. He fined Trikilis more than $2,000 and sentenced him to six months in prison, suspended for five years.
