William Jordan (sex offender)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other persons named William Jordan, see William Jordan.

William Jordan is a convicted conman, bigamist and paedophile[1], who convinced his victims that he worked for the CIA.

Jordan was born in America, but became a naturalised British citizen.

Several women were taken in by Jordan and made to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds. [2] The judge described him as "an inveterate exploiter of vulnerable women, not just financially but also emotionally."[3] To explain the other women, Jordan had told each of his wives that the other wife was an intelligence agent.[4]

Mary Thompson, who believed she was his wife, has written a book describing her experience.[5]
