I know lots of guys out there who’ve suffered from “That cheating bitch” syndrome who would dance with joy at hearing this…
DETROIT, United States (AFP) – Philanderers beware: spouses caught cheating in Michigan could end up spending the rest of their life in prison.
And not the emotional kind.
The state’s appeals court recently ruled that extramarital flings can be prosecuted as first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to life in jail.
“We cannot help but question whether the Legislature actually intended the result we reach here today,” Judge William Murphy wrote in a unanimous Court of Appeals panel, “but we are curtailed by the language of the statute from reaching any other conclusion.”
“Technically,” he added, “any time a person engages in sexual penetration in an adulterous relationship, he or she is guilty of CSC I,” the most serious sexual assault charge in the state’s criminal code.
Michigan still lists adultery as a felony, although no one has been convicted of the offense since 1971.
This is pretty scary. I bet if more states listed adultery as a felony, you’d see a LOT less cheating going on.
I love America. It’s the greatest nation on earth, and yet she still has her faults. Adultery a crime? So much for “land of the free”. Of course with the increasingly strict smoking bans and food bans across the country, what would one expect? It’s only a matter of time before they begin banning certain books haha!
