Emily Horne (born 9 December 1978 in York, UK) is best known for being a multi-time bigamist after her well-publicised marriages to six men without legally divorcing any of them each time, and thus has been sentenced twice for bigamy, which led to calls by the authorities on just how she was able to go unnoticed for so long. She has now changed her name by deed poll and is known as Max-Accastes Quiberberon.

Horne's first sentence for bigamy was given by Ipswich Crown Court in January 2004 when she was sentenced to six months in prison. In June 2009, she was charged again, this time at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester. The court passed sentence on 27 July 2009, when she was given a ten-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, since the court had been told that Horne been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was under medication.

She was due to be sentenced 20 January 2012, but the verdict was postponed pending psychiatric evaluation. On 20 March 2012, Horne was handed a 12-month community order with supervision. The judge also imposed a 28-day electronically tagged curfew from 7 pm to 7 am.
