A New York lawmaker is looking to repeal a state law passed in 1907 that technically makes cheating on a spouse illegal. A conviction can result in jail time.
"It just makes no sense whatsoever and we’ve come a long way since intimate relationships between consenting adults are considered immoral," said Assemblyman Charles Lavine, who has sponsored the bill appealing adultery. "It’s a joke. This law was someone’s expression of moral outrage."
Lavine, a Democrat, added: "The state has no business regulating consensual sexual behavior between adults."
