Liana Barrientos, 39, allegedly married 10 men between 1999 and 2010, and is still allegedly married to four, the district attorney said.

Barrientos had marriage certificates filed from Westchester to Long Island and most allegedly without benefit of divorce. Six of the marriages were in Westchester, according to lohud.com.

An investigation by the Bronx County District Attorney’s Office by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the Department of Homeland Security’s Investigation Division indicated that seven of the men are from so-called “red-flagged” countries, which included Egypt, Turkey, Georgia, Pakistan and Mali, the district attorney said.

Barrientos pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree offering false instruments for filing and faces up to four years in prison, the district attorney said.
