While dating Monika Miklos, for the past several years, I befriended
an American Porn actress named Haley Paige.
The reasons for this sudden romance was because my student visa expired
and I was suddenly an illegal alien in America. (View my "PICS" to see
our authentic marriage certificate).
After dating for a few months, Haley and I married on October 15th,
2005 in a ceremony attended by my cousin Tibor. The marriage was set
up in 4 hours prior to the ceremony. I moved into Haley's apartment
in North Hollywood the following day. On Thanksgiving Eve, approximately
5 weeks after our marriage, I left Haley to move in with my girlfriend
Monika Miklos with whom I was living with the entire time of the fraudulent
relationship between Haley and I citing her addiction to painkillers
as the reason. Neither Monika nor Haley knew of each other at the time.
It didn't matter that I knew she was on painkillers and even providing
her with painkillers during the duration of the relationship.
I informed my wife Haley I would return once she sobered up and that
my drug addiction specialist informed me that drug users should always
be alone in order to successfully conquer their addiction. I promised
to return to the marriage on Christmas Day, 2005, while Haley was completely
sober and to live together. It never happened. I called a week later
citing a trip to Las Vegas with relatives during the Christmas holidays.
During the marriage, I begged Haley not to let anyone know about the
marriage. The reasoning behind this stemmed from my desire not to have
anyone know, especially my girlfriend at the time. What I told Haley
was this ... I want a huge Satanic wedding, complete with porn paparazzi
to be videotaped and sold as a symbol of our love.
Unfortunately, I never returned to my wife who was battling addiction
alone. I promised I was completely loyal to my wife Haley and never
cheated on her to this point. I promised to move back in with my wife
Haley a week before a scheduled Homeland Security interview which was
conducted on February 14, 2006. Incidentally, it was Valentine's Day
where I would tell every stranger about my glorious marriage. After
the interview where I was the only one questioned by officials (under
oath), I stopped calling again, praising Haley's miraculous recovery
from addiction.
At this point, sometime in mid-April approximately 5 months after
I left the marriage, Haley found the marriage to be a fraud. She was
in denial about the fraudulent nature of the marriage until her friends
started telling her how ridiculous this marriage truly was. Haley started
to discover from friends who previously did not want to be involved
that I was dating Monika Miklos and living with her during the marriage
even though I claimed to live in a studio.
She talked to me one last time in mid-April where she asked me if the
marriage was a fraud, simply for a conditional green card. Of course
I denied it. As the love from her heart dissipated, she became much
more rational and realized the only reason I married her, the only reason
I promised her the world, the only reason for everything was my agenda
to procure legal status in the United States.
I have not talked to Haley since mid-April when she moved out of her
apartment. She refuses to talk to me after I threatened her against
divorcing me. I even offered to pay for the duration of the marriage
but Haley still refuesed any money from me. I even tried to tell her
I love her and offered to move back in with me.
Alas, she'd rather erase the past all together from her mind. I'm sure
she'd like to thank her friends and lawyers for supporting her throughout
this entire ordeal and their continued support.
I, Csaba Marton declare:
1. I am the Respondent in this action, and make this declaration in
support of my opposition to Petitioner's motion for an order of nullity
based on alleged fraud, and for attorney's fees and costs.
2. Actually, I filed for dissolution first against Ms. Haley on June
17, 2006. She was not served until July 16, 2006 because I could not
find her.
3. In general, my marriage to Ms. Haley was legitimate and not based
on fraud.
4. On April 17, 2005 I met Ms. Haley. I was a director of, and she
was an actress in an adult movie. We were interested in each other,
and dated for about five months before I moved in with her in September
2005. At that time she lived in a one-bedroom apartment at 11125, Acama
Street, North Hollywood, California. Around the time we moved in together,
we opened a joint bank account. A true and correct copy of a check from
that account is attached as Ex. 2.
5. From the beginning, I was always honest with her about my immigration
status. I never told her I was here legally. I told her that I had overstayed
my visa, and was taking steps to become a U.S. citizen. It was our mutual
decision to get married, and we did so on October 15, 2005. I never
rushed Ms. Haley into getting married, it was by mutual decision because
we wanted to. Attached as Ex. 3 is a photograph of me and Ms. Haley
that was shot in our apartment the day after we were married.
6. Ms. Haley and I discussed the marriage well before it took place.
We agreed that we were getting married for love, but agreed to sign
a premarital agreement. We both went to a paralegal service and had
an agreement prepared which we signed on October 7, 2005. A true and
correct copy is attached as Ex. 4.
7. Our marriage was consummated numerous times and there is no issue
about that.
8. I have reviewed Ms. Haley's declaration and it is not entirely correct.
Paragraph 12 of her declaration is true, though we both decided to get
married at the beach as a romantic gesture. Paragraph 13 is not correct
because we lived together in her apartment for at least one month before
we got married.
9. Our marriage ended in April 2006, six months after we were married
on October 15, 2005 because of Ms. Haley's addiction to painkillers
and other drugs. When I became aware of her addiction, I encouraged
her to attend meetings at Narcotic Anonymous ("NA"). Paragraph 17 of
her declaration is not correct. She states we separated November 23,
2005. Actually, we put the utilities in the apartment in both our names
in February 2006 and attended a meeting together at the INS office on
March 7, 2006. Based on our meeting with an INS officer I was given
a two year green card.
10. We did live as a married couple for six months. I did not have
a "girlfriend" during this time. I did remain friends with a Ms. Miklos
who is also Hungarian and a friend from long ago.
11. The assertions in paragraph 22 of Ms. Haley's declaration are not
true. She is quoting from Hungarian tabloids a bunch of a nonsense that
was written about me and my ex-wife, Sarolta Zaltnay. Ms. Zaltnay was
(and still is) an actress, singer, and celebrity in Hungary. The tabloids
there (as in the U.S.) frequently write lies and other sensational nonsense
about celebrities to sell magazines. None of it is true.
I was born on December 30, 1981 and am a citizen of the United States
of America.
I met Csaba Marton, a Hungarian-born citizen, in May 2005 at an adult
movie shoot where he worked as a cameraman. He seemed to take a particular
liking to me and continued to hire me for more work.
On my third shoot, he asked me out on a date. After three weeks of
dating and intimate relations, he brought up the subject of marriage.
He asked, “What do you think about marriage? Do you think about getting
married? What do you think about us getting married?” At that time I
believed I was in love and I had never fallen in love so quickly before.
He insisted that he would not judge me for my job, saying, “I don’t
care about you doing porn. It’s not a big deal if you do black guys,
do gays or gangbangs”. I had been depressed since I felt that no one
could ever love me if they knew about my occupation. I was prepared
to accept his marriage proposal and grew more attracted to him as I
began to trust and love him wholeheartedly.
During our period of courtship, I was not aware of Csaba’s illegal
alien status as he never gave me any indication of his immigration problems.
He persuaded me to believe he was acting on pure love and our relations
would have no bearing on his immigration proceedings. He told me that
he was famous in Hungary and was in good standing with U.S. immigration.
He said he was not an illegal alien and had only a few more months to
go before he would receive his greencard.
I accepted his marriage proposal with good faith and sincerely believed
we would spend our lives together in every aspect that holy matrimony
ordinarily offers. I told my friends I was in love as Csaba treated
me like a princess, from the way he spoke to me to how he acted around
me. He told me he had never met anymore more beautiful and for the first
time in my life, I felt like a teenager in love. However, Csaba told
me that I shouldn’t tell anyone we were dating and contemplating marriage.
He didn’t want anyone to know about his personal business.
I respected his decision since I wanted to be loved and craved his
affection. Growing up, I had never received much love or affection.
I was molested by an uncle, which my parents knew about but never did
anything. At school, I raped consistently by gang members. As a result
of these traumatic experiences, I went into counseling for two months.
In addition, my last boyfriend prior to Csaba was verbally, emotionally,
mentally and physically abusive, only compounding my psychological distress.
During our dating period, he became very controlling, demanding to
know who my friends were and whom I went out with. He did not like my
friend Stephanie very much because she saw his possessive characteristics.
In turn, he introduced me to his friends, essentially the people in
the adult entertainment industry. A select few people knew that I was
his girlfriend but most people did not even realize we were dating.
I respected his request for privacy even though gossip of our relationship
would not have affected our work.
Csaba told me he had been married before to a famous Hungarian singer
(Sarolta Zalatnay) and that the marriage ended approximately four to
five years ago. He said he had been living in the U.S. for seven years.
When we had dated for about two and a half months, Csaba told me suddenly
something had happened and we needed to get married within one month;
otherwise, we would have to wait over two years to get married. When
I questioned him for specific reasons, he explained it as merely a “timing
thing”. Getting married would actually be detrimental to his greencard
application, he told me, but he was still willing to take that risk
and marry me. I had no knowledge of immigration regulations and trusted
him wholeheartedly. I had no reason not to trust him since at that time,
he had never lied to me (to my knowledge). He asked me to find someone
convenient to marry us as soon as possible as he kept saying, “I can’t
wait to be your husband”. At that point, I wanted to be his wife and
believed that at some time in the near future, we would have a big celebration
with family and friends. He instructed me not to tell anyone of our
plans since he wanted the big affair to be perceived as the real thing.
In addition, he planned to market it as the first pornographic wedding
movie. When I did tell my parents and a few close friends, Csaba became
extremely upset and ordered me not to tell anyone else.
On October 15, 2005, driving to Santa Monica, Csaba turned to me and
said, “Let’s get married right now on the beach. Wouldn’t that be romantic?”
I said, “yes” and was extremely happy about his idea. We contacted the
Los Angeles marriage office and promptly bought wedding rings. Five
hours later, with his cousin Tibor as witness and wearing jeans, sweatshirts
and yellow sweats, we were married on Santa Monica beach by Minister
Chris Robinson. Pictures of the wedding ceremony were taken by Tibor.
Our marriage was not consummated that evening. Csaba dropped me off
at my apartment and told me he still had video editing to work on at
his studio. I was devastated since in my mind I felt like this night
should have been special. However, I could not say anything since I
feared making him upset and angry.
The following day, he arrived at my place with all of his possessions
(computer, clothes, dog, desk, DVDs, etc). Since my apartment consists
only of 600 sq. feet, he took me to look at houses. Upon deciding on
a house, he assured me he had enough money for the down payment. However,
later on, he told me he wanted to save more money and buy a better house
so we held off from purchasing a larger place.
We had signed a prenuptial agreement one week prior to our marriage
to protect our assets. Upon moving into my apartment, Csaba never paid
any of the bills. He did loan me money on two occasions to help with
rent but I paid him back promptly. He said he was struggling with finances
as he was still in debt and paying for his car. However, I genuinely
believed our relationship was moving along as well as could be expected.
At this time, I was suffering from an addiction to painkillers that
my doctor had prescribed. Csaba knew about my addiction and began giving
me painkillers to keep my withdrawal symptoms away. I was taking painkillers
to numb myself for video shoots and I did not know how to treat my addiction.
Csaba told me that one of his friends had died from a painkiller overdose
and he was now concerned about me.
The night before Thanksgiving, on November 23, 2005, Csaba met with
a painkiller doctor/specialist and returned home to tell me that the
doctor thought it would be better if I recover from my addiction alone.
I was completed shocked and devastated at this announcement. One hour
prior to this, with his knowledge, I had made plans to visit my mother
and her new boyfriend for the first time to celebrate Thanksgiving in
San Diego. He began moving most of his belongings out of the apartment
that night and finished the day after while I was at work. We had lived
together as a married couple for only a little more than a month before
he announced his decision to move out.
During this time we had minimal contact and no intimate relations.
I followed through with my sobriety plans in his absence. I wanted to
be with him but he constantly excused himself as “unavailable”. I began
to feel that he did not want me to sober up so that he would always
have a reason to stay away and be able to make me feel guilty. He told
me he had moved to his studios while we were separated.
I made plans for Christmas day in that he would come to my place and
celebrate with since I did not think he had family in the area. I bought
presents and wrapped them under the tree in anticipation of his visit.
However, he did not show up and or even call for the week following
Christmas. A week later, in January 2006, Csaba called to say that he
was staying with his stepbrother Gabor who was going through a divorce.
He explained Gabor was depressed and they had gone to Vegas for a week.
In February 2006, Csaba told me that we had to go to the INS for the
“little interview”. He put on his best behavior during this time, asking
for us to hang out and be friends again. He asked me, “Can I do anything
for you? Let’s hang out and be pals”. However, there was still no intimacy
between us. We have not shared a common residence since November 23,
2005 when Csaba moved out.
At that time, I was in denial and still hoped our marriage would be
able to work. I was too scared to confront the truth as I was already
emotionally and mentally devastated by his absence. I needed denial
to stay sober as I struggled both with my addiction and my marriage.
During my state of emotional distress and vulnerability, I was deceived
by his many promises of reconciliation as he led me to believe that
we may be able to save our marriage. With this falsehood, Csaba coerced
me to agree to accompany him to his INS interview. At that time, I still
held faith in our marital relations and believed our marriage continued
to stand on authentic grounds of love and commitment.
We met with an attorney named Bernard Lurie a few weeks prior to the
interview to be advised on what documents we needed. The lawyer said
the immigration officials would not ask me any questions.
Prior to the interview date, Csaba called me while crying that he needed
my help with taking more realistic wedding photos. Believing this would
be an opportunity to spend time together and rekindle our love, I went
along with his idea. I wanted to do everything right so he would love
me again. The pictures were taken by his friend Kenny, depicting us
in more traditional wedding garb from the waist up. We wore jeans which
were not shown in the photos and I donned a fake “wedding veil” purchased
from a costume store. We also took a picture at a nearby Starbucks where
Csaba pretended to know someone at the restaurant Jerry’s Deli and persuaded
this “friend” to take a picture with us “newlyweds”. He wanted to use
this picture as evidence that he was introducing me to his friends as
his wife.
I was persuaded to remain silent on the above matter as he convinced
me I would face grave legal consequences if his interview did not proceed
well since I was bound to him by marital relations. I had no knowledge
of immigration regulations and feared his threats to be true.
The interview took place in February or March 2006 and we were accompanied
by our lawyer. At the interview, Csaba brought our marriage certificate,
joint bill, joint bank statement (Washington Mutual), photo album with
the fake photos mentioned above, false wedding announcement cards, and
false congratulation cards.
After the interview, I did not hear from Csaba for a month. I had been
sober for almost six months by that time; yet he showed no intentions
of resuming our relationship. Realizing that he was not returning, I
was very upset and called him in mid-April to ask if our relationship
was strictly for his immigration purposes. He replied, “I never lied
to you. I have documents to prove that I was a legal citizen and that
by marrying you, it made me harder to stay in the country”. I asked
for copies of the documents but he refused to hand them over to me.
Instead, Csaba offered me money if I would not seek divorce and keep
silent on his immigration matters. I refused his monetary offer and
since then, we have not had any contact or direct communication.
I have only now began to realize that my marriage was a complete sham,
initiated and planned by Csaba solely for his immigration purposes.
He never had any intention of staying in the marriage and saw our relations
solely as a means to procure a permanent residency. There was no marital
faithfulness as during our relationship, he secretly kept in contact
with his previous Hungarian-born girlfriend who had obtained her own
permanent residency through marriage to a U.S. citizen. Unbeknownst
to me, Csaba designed our relationship to culminate in marriage and
ultimately, his attainment of permanent residency in the U.S. In retrospect,
I am greatly distressed by the manner in which I have been deceived
and lied to.
I now realize the extreme depths to which my marriage was based on
fraud and deception. My husband was never the person he portrayed himself
to be as he lied about his immigration status and his Hungarian ties.
I learned recently through an article printed on Transition Online,
a European news website, that my husband was charged with fraud alongside
his ex-wife in Hungary. The article states that he moved out to Los
Angeles and in 2002, informed Hungarian authorities that he had a “medical
condition” preventing him from returning to his home country to stand
trial. From the day I met Csaba, he has never mentioned this part of
his past as he gave all indications of a clean record. He never discussed
this as a possible reason for his urgency to obtain permanent residency
in the United States.
I am submitting to the U.S. Immigration Services this affidavit and
supporting documentation for proper investigation in the validity of
Csaba’s greencard. As painful as the experience has been for me, I realize
this is no mere marital dispute or dissolution of marriage. Rather,
in light of the fact that Csaba designed this marriage from the onset
to obtain his permanent residency, his actions would constitute a serious
violation of U.S. immigration and criminal laws.
I am deeply distressed that I was unknowingly exploited by my husband
for my U.S. citizenship status. Nevertheless, I still firmly believe
in the principles and values of the United States and feel bound by
my duties as an American citizen to present this before the proper authorities
for investigative action.
