On the History channel, It stated that he abandoned his family for "God" & added very harsh passage to the Bible about sex, Whereas Jesus told people not to stone a whore and just forgave her.

If Jesus wasn't so harsh on Whores, then why in the Bible does in contradict this, could this be the passages added or changed by St. Valentine? And is there a missing passage in the Bible regarding women should be treated better?
 
Not sure. It would help if I knew which chapter and verse he is accused of adding.

Don't forget that Jesus told the prostitute to "go and sin no more." He did not tell her "go and carry on as before."

From Wiki:
The Saint Valentine that appears in various martyrologies in connection with February 14 is described either as:

* A priest in Rome
* A bishop of Interamna (modern Terni)
* A martyr in the Roman province of Africa.[6]

The first representation of Saint Valentine appeared in the Nuremberg Chronicle, (1493); alongside the woodcut portrait of Valentine the text states that he was a Roman priest martyred during the reign of Claudius II, known as Claudius Gothicus.

He was arrested and imprisoned upon being caught marrying Christian couples and otherwise aiding Christians who were at the time being persecuted by Claudius in Rome. Helping Christians at this time was considered a crime.

Claudius took a liking to this prisoner -- until Valentinus tried to convert the Emperor -- whereupon this priest was condemned to death. He was beaten with clubs and stoned; when that didn't finish him, he was beheaded outside the Flaminian Gate (circa 269).
