Scott Peterson's Mistress Sued Over Book, Movie Deal

FRESNO (AP) — The former mistress of convicted wife killer Scott Peterson is being sued by a California author who says Amber Frey failed to cooperate in the writing of a book and screenplay.

Peter Reynosa's breach of contract suit, filed late Wednesday in Fresno Superior Court, seeks $250,000 or Frey's renewed cooperation on the book "Memoirs of a Sex Addict" and the screenplay "Myths of the Flesh."

Peterson is on San Quentin's death row for killing his pregnant wife, Laci, and their unborn child in 2002.

Frey dated Peterson in 2002 and she testified for the prosecution at his trial.
