Wife Says Christy Mihos Is Addicted To Prostitutes, Porn Stars

BOSTON (CBS) - Christy Mihos is known as the Brockton born businessman and outspoken Turnpike Authority member who made two unsuccessful runs for governor, but a report obtained by the I-Team exposes a man capable of death threats who is addicted to hiring women for sex.

According to his wife Andrea, money problems and allegations of an addiction to hiring prostitutes, strippers and porn stars for sex, fueled an argument that ended in a domestic assault last week near the couples' oceanfront home in Stuart, Florida. The report states that during a fight in the car, Christy Mihos told Andrea she could, "easily disappear or be hurt or killed." And when his wife began to record the fight on her iPhone Mihos grabbed it and threw it at her hitting her lip.

The details paint a far different picture of the couple than what's been in the public eye. In 2006 Mihos described a loving relationship from the start saying, "I just looked in her eyes, she looked at me and I was like whoa."

But now after 38 years that marriage is struggling. Sources tell us Andrea Mihos also accuses her husband of having his illegal sexual trysts in three different states and paying $400 to $2,000 an hour for sex. The Florida case also revealed a prior alleged assault at the couples' home in West Yarmouth last July, a case that Mihos will head to court for next month.

No charges will be filed in the Florida case because Andrea Mihos refused to co-operate with investigators there after initially going to Yarmouth Police for help. Her lawyer, Peter Lloyd, told a Florida detective that Andrea would not be making any further statements to law enforcement. Andrea Mihos flew home to the Cape the day after the assault and reported it police. Yarmouth police are seeking charges in their case.
