PHILADELPHIA -- Three local women claimed that they were all married to the same man, Ricardo Sampson, and they said they want him behind bars.
According to marriage licenses the three women showed NBC 10, Ricardo Sampson married Robin Sampson Dec. 5, 1992; Donna Sampson, July 18, 1997; and Jackie Sampson May 20, 2006.
Ricardo Sampson’s wives said that he used his role as a preacher at different churches as an excuse for not being around.

Robin Sampson said he would be in church with her on Sunday morning and he would leave and have service with Donna Sampson in the evening.
"Oh, he proposed to me at Friday's on Valentine’s Day," Robin Sampson said.
Robin said after dinner at Friday's, Ricardo Sampson romanced her with an engagement ring inside a box of candy.
Jackie Sampson said that he also proposed to her on Valentine's Day.
But soon after their wedding day, Jackie Sampson said Ricardo Sampson's secret started to come to light when Donna Sampson knocked on her door.
Jackie Sampson said Ricardo Sampson denied that he was married to Donna Sampson and portrayed her as a former lover who would not leave him alone.
Eventually it all unraveled for Ricardo Sampson.
This week, Jackie Sampson and Robin Sampson went to municipal court in
