NY Governor Hochul Makes Adultery LEGAL In New York

The governor of New York has signed a measure that repeals a statutory ban on adultery in the state.

So, as legacy wire service AP documented, “Cheating on your spouse is no longer a crime…”

It was Gov. Kathy Hochul who just days ago signed a plan repealing the original 1907 law that made adultery a criminal offense, a Class B misdemeanor that carried a punishment of up to 90 days in jail.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

“These matters should clearly be handled by these individuals and not our criminal justice system. Let’s take this silly, outdated statute off the books, once and for all,” she said.

The Gateway Pundit documented that more than a dozen people have been charged under the statute in recent decades, but only five convicted.

State assembly member Charles Lavine proposed the repeal.
