Two local Navy sailors are facing federal charges in a marriage fraud scheme, according to court documents filed recently. One sailor has pleaded guilty, and authorities say the case involves multiple conspirators. A woman, who identified herself only as M, contacted News4JAX after the initial report, saying she dated one of the sailors involved and eventually turned him in.

At least two Jacksonville service members have been charged with conspiracy to commit marriage fraud after federal officials said they were paid to marry Chinese nationals who wanted legal status.
