Two days after a Clayton man was charged with being married to two women at once, a third woman came forward to say that she, too, is married to him.

There may be more, one of the women said Thursday.

Keron Lamont Wilkins, 30, of 104 Home Trace Circle was jailed this week after police charged him with one felony count of bigamy. Police accused Wilkins of marrying Shannetta Dawn Stone, 32, of Richmond, Va., on March 20 while he was married to Chaka Khan Miles Wilkins, his wife of eight years and the mother of his children, ages 4 and 8 months.

Wilkins remained in the Wake County jail Thursday evening in lieu of $3,000 bail. He could spend 10 months in prison if convicted.

He has been assigned a public defender, but none could be reached for comment Thursday. Efforts to reach his mother, Cynthia Moody, in Emporia, Va., Thursday were unsuccessful.

On Thursday, Jenean Baker, 34, of Atlanta said she and Wilkins wed Nov. 25, 2005, in Miami. Baker said that Wilkins had her name tattooed on his chest and that she has his name tattooed across her back inside two hearts with a lock holding them together.

Photos of their wedding show Wilkins wearing the same royal blue shirt and matching blue necktie with gold triangles that he wore when he married Baker and again when he married Stone at the Wake County Magistrate's Office.

Stone thinks Wilkins may be married to three more women living in Virginia and one more in Arizona. "Three more called me today," she said Thursday.

Stone said she shared a Cary apartment with Keron Wilkins while he was living with Chaka Wilkins in Clayton. Stone and Wilkins were wed nearly two months ago after a whirlwind romance. She met him late last year at a convenience store in Emporia.

Baker said she knew Keron Wilkins had been married to Chaka Wilkins. But she said her husband gave her the impression the relationship was over.

"About four months after we were married, Chaka called me and told me he was already married," Baker said.

Baker said she and Keron Wilkins never divorced. She said she was shocked by Chaka Wilkins' phone call and shocked again to find out in news accounts this week about his marriage to Stone.

Cary police Capt. Michael Williams said Baker faxed him a copy of the marriage certificate Thursday afternoon.

"We are looking into it. As you can see, they were married in Miami, so it might be out of our jurisdiction," Williams said. "We are talking with the district attorney's office to see how to proceed."

A rush to the justice

A native of Miami, Baker said she met Keron Wilkins in 1996 when they were both in the Army. They started dating, and he wanted to marry her then, but she said she thought they were too young.

She left the Army in 2001 and maintained an off-again, on-again relationship with him. They started dating seriously in early 2005, she said.

They planned to marry in 2006, she said, but Keron Wilkins rushed her to marry immediately.

Baker consented, and the two were married by a justice of the peace in Dade County, Fla.

"All my family was there," Baker said. "He had us all tricked."

The two lived together in Miami before moving to Raleigh in 2006. But she said she left him in 2006 and moved to Atlanta because he was seeing other women and because of repeated phone calls from Chaka Wilkins.

Baker said Keron Wilkins started calling her again this year wanting to reconcile. He told her they could live in Connecticut, where he had landed a job with IBM that paid more than six figures, she said. After much wooing by Wilkins, she consented.

She gave two weeks' notice to her employer, Kodak, where she was a help desk representative, and was looking forward to living near an aunt in New York.

"I even had a couple of job interviews lined up," she said.

'He got me good'

Last month, Keron Wilkins called to say the job in Connecticut had not come through because he had failed a security clearance. But he told her he could move to Atlanta so the two could start a new life together.

Baker said she had financially supported Wilkins, whom she described as "a charming, handsome smooth-talker."

"He got me," she said. "He got me good."

Baker said when she found out her husband was married to another woman in 2006 she went to the Miami police.

"They treated me so low," Baker recalled Thursday. "They told me he wouldn't get much time, a couple of months and maybe probation."

Baker, the single mother of a 9-year-old son, said she did not have the time or money to divorce Wilkins. Now she regrets she let the case fester. "I shouldn't have let it sit," she said.
