MIAMI -- A 26-year-old Miami woman was married to 10 men at the same time, prosecutors allege, in a marriage-for-pay scheme to enable the men to remain in the United States.
Eunice Lopez was charged with nine counts of bigamy Wednesday.
The charges say she married the men between 2002 and 2006 without divorcing any of them. In one case, she married two men in the same month.
