Adultery is no longer illegal in New York
Adultery is no longer a crime in New York.
Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday signed off on repealing a 1907 law prohibiting the act.
New York's penal law previously said that "a person is guilty of adultery when he engages in sexual intercourse with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse."
