Scott Peterson is addressing his behavior leading up to Laci Peterson’s death.
In his first on-camera interview since before he was arrested 21 years ago for the alleged murder of his pregnant wife and their unborn son Conner, Scott is once again denying any involvement in her disappearance and death in Peacock’s upcoming three-part documentary Face to Face with Scott Peterson.
During his trial, prosecutors alleged Scott—who, per People, had entered into an extramarital affair with a woman named Amber Frey one month before the murders—didn’t want to become a father and therefore committed the murders in an attempt to get out of his marriage without having to pay child and spousal support.
Now, in the documentary, Scott fires back at the accusation. “That is so offensive and so disgusting,” he says, according to People. “I certainly regret cheating on Laci, absolutely. It was about a childish lack of self-esteem, selfish me traveling somewhere, lonely that night because I wasn’t at home. Someone makes you feel good because they want have sex with you.”
He reportedly added of his infidelity, “It’s horrible. I was a total a–hole to be having sex outside our marriage.”
