James House Being Held In Louisville

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A 53-year-old man is facing a bigamy charge in Oldham County, Ky., for allegedly marrying two women within one week, and another woman tells WLKY News that he has two other wives, including her.

Authorities describe James E. House as the ultimate conman.

House has been indicted by an Oldham County grand jury.

According to court records, House married Christina Settle in Louisville in April 2008. One week later, he married Lisa Ross in La Grange, Ky.

WLKY TV has spoken to a third woman who says she was also married to House when he wed the two others.

The woman, who asked not to be identified, claims there is also a fourth wife.

House is being held at Metro Corrections on multiple charges, including knowingly exploiting an adult, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, theft and bigamy.

A bigamy conviction in Kentucky carries a maximum five-year prison sentence.
