CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A man charged with bigamy after a girlfriend's sister saw him profiled on the "Dr. Phil" television show was sentenced Monday to one year in jail.
 
Charles Edward Hicks, 62, who has been married seven times, had pleaded guilty to marrying his sixth wife while still married to his fifth.

Hicks married Julie Flint Hicks in 1997 while married to Rose Marie Sewell. Wife No. 7, Sandra Goldin, tried unsuccessfully to have Hicks prosecuted for his marriage to her.

Hicks was profiled on "Dr. Phil" in 2005, when two women who had learned they both were married to Hicks went on the show. A viewer recognized Hicks as her sister's boyfriend and called authorities.
