Woman Duped By Spouse's Secret Sex Life
(CBS 3)
It seemed like a fairy tale romance for Connie Lee and Brian who met on a Christian Web site. She thought he was perfect, but it turned out things were too good to be true.
Brian even moved to South Jersey from Germany just to be with her.
"After being there and meeting his family, meeting and talking to his friends. I felt I could trust him," lee said.
Connie Lee thought she found her soul mate. Her wedding day, she says, was the happiest day of her life.
But that feeling didn't last long as it became clear to Connie Lee that her husband Brian wasn't the man she thought he was.
"Pretty much as soon as we got married, I knew something was wrong because there was no intimacy, none on my wedding night, for two months," she explained.
And that wasn't all, she suspected Brian was having an affair when she found secret text messages and secret phone calls.
In fact, she says, Brian was having an affair, and even more shockingly with another man.
"No way did would I ever expect that he was doing what he was doing," she said.
Connie Lee says Brian was placing ads on Craigslist offering sex to other men for money.
"My heart just sank when I found graphic pictures, the found ads and the text messages."
She admitted that Brian had been getting money from other men and in some cases gifts in exchange for sexual behavior.
"This older gentleman would always give him money," she said.
Documents show she testified in divorce court, although Connie Lee says Brian's never been charged.
He did not respond to us when we asked for comment.
Connie Lee tells CBS3 Brian became increasingly abusive. First verbally, then physically, starting with the night she tried to meet with their pastor for counseling.
She says Brian tried to stop her from even entering the building by grabbing and hitting her so hard he allegedly broke her elbow.
Connie lee is now divorced and says she's still concerned she could have contracted a sexually transmitted disease from Brian, but her faith and her child give her strength.
