RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Virginia couple who obtained a state marriage license and had a ceremony before authorities realized both were men will not face charges, officials said this week. Antonio Blount, 31, and Justin McCain, 18, faced misdemeanor false information charges, punishable by a fine up to $250. Authorities said the couple applied for a license in Newport News Circuit Court in March and passed off McCain as “Justine.” Prosecutors opted not to press charges because they couldn’t determine if the couple knowingly committed fraud.
