The office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced on Thursday, November 06, that former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer will not face criminal charges for solicitation of prostitution.  In March, 2008, Spitzer resigned as governor of New York after it was uncovered that he had been a customer of the Emperor’s Club V.I.P., a prostitution service that charged as much as $5,500 an hour.  However, after a thorough investigation, prosecutors found no evidence that Spitzer had used public money or campaign funds to pay for his encounters with prostitutes. 

The decision by some spouses to choose random sexual encounters, over remaining faithful in their marriage, is one that affects many couples.  Eliot Spitzer, David Duchovny, and Peter Cook are among celebrities that have had this very private addiction exposed, discussed, and scrutinized by the media.  This highly prevalent, yet rarely discussed, addiction is widespread in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Staten Island, as well as Nassau and Suffolk counties.  Often, some form of a sex addiction is the defining factor in the decision to file for divorce.  Discovering your spouse has a secret life involving random sexual encounters is devastating for anyone.  Although treatable, such an addiction often ends a marriage.  If you find yourself in need of assistance or know someone who can use help, please refer them to the following organization: http://www.sexaa.org
