Cheating on your spouse is no longer a crime in New York
Adultery is no longer a crime in New York.
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill on Friday repealing a 117-year-old state law that criminalized adultery, which had been a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail.
In a statement, the governor said it was “somewhat ironic” that she signed the bill, given her 40-year marriage to her husband. But she said she understood people “often have complex relationships.”
“These matters should clearly be handled by these individuals and not our criminal justice system,” Hochul said. “Let’s take this silly, outdated statute off the books, once and for all.”
New York had been one of 17 states that considered adultery a crime, at least on paper. It now becomes at least the fifth state to have repealed such a law since 2015.
Technically, the New York law applied when a person “engage(d) in sexual intercourse with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse.”

This is frivolous and just feeds into the whole "liberals have no respect for the sanctity of marriage."
Why do Democrats keep giving them ammo?
