A couple who
obtained a marriage license and exchanged vows in Virginia
before officials realized both were biologically men will
not face charges.
Same-sex marriage
is illegal in Virginia, and the pair had faced
misdemeanor false information charges.
Authorities say
31-year-old Antonio Blount and 18-year-old Justin McCain
married in March. Officials realized later that McCain was
actually born a man in North Carolina.
In a letter to
Newport News circuit court clerk Rex Davis on Monday,
Newport News commonwealth's attorney, Howard Gwynn, says
based on the facts of the case, charges aren't
warranted. (Dionne Walker, AP)
