Sharon, 34, had given up her job, her husband, her son and her life in Britain to marry the ex-con after meeting him through a pen-pal service.
But instead of the fairytale romance she had hoped for, the British mum found herself living on a gang-ridden, drug-infested Los Angeles housing estate."
Sharon picked Rickey, also 34, to be her pen-pal after seeing his online profile, which seemed warm and friendly.
She said: "My first letter to Rickey was ten A4 pages long. It felt good to pour out my feelings to him."
Incredibly, just five months after receiving Rickey's first letter, Sharon ended her marriage and by March 2008 Rickey had confessed he was falling in love with her and proposed marriage."
Sharon said: "I was falling for him too and we got on brilliantly.
I knew he had been a gang member in his youth and at 21 he'd been speeding when the car crashed and killed a 19-year-old woman, which led to the manslaughter charge.
But he told me that was all in the past and he wanted to have a future together with me.

If that were my Mum I'd disown her.
Some people must stumble through their lives with their eyes closed. She thought it was going to be a fairytale living with a ganag member with a history of drug use and a manslaughter conviction?
You could be a very good marriage consultant.
She left her exhusband for a much larger aids infested penis.
happens all the time. Mainly to you guys posting in this thread.
Owners of sharp tongues should be aware of cutting themselves.
