S. 7 Episode 24: William Allen Jordan: Bigamist, Conman, and the Women Who Took Him Down

Case Files with Kat and Ashley

In this episode, Kat dives into the jaw-dropping story of William Allen Jordan—a master manipulator who spun an intricate web of lies across continents. Posing as a CIA operative, Jordan lured multiple women into marriage, fathered children, and drained their finances, all while maintaining overlapping relationships.

Kat unpacks Jordan’s timeline of deception, exploring how he convinced intelligent, successful women to believe his dangerous lies. But this isn’t just a story of broken hearts—Jordan’s actions sparked a movement that led to the creation of New Jersey’s groundbreaking “rape by fraud” bill, redefining consent in the eyes of the law.

How did Jordan’s victims uncover the truth? What legal precedent did their fight for justice create? And where is William Allen Jordan now? Tune in for a captivating deep dive into a case where fact is far more disturbing than fiction.
