纽约州长Kathy Hoghul签署一项法案,废除1907年的一项法律,该法将通奸定为刑事罪行,可判处最高三个月的监禁。 New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a bill to repeal a 1907 law that made adultery a criminal offense, punishable by up to three months in jail. 该法律被认为已经过时,很少得到执行,但自1970年代以来只导致5起定罪。 The law, considered outdated and rarely enforced, had only led to five convictions since the 1970s. Hohul指出,此类事项应由个人而不是刑事司法系统处理。 Hochul stated that such matters should be handled by individuals, not the criminal justice system. 这一废除反映了更广泛的趋势,其他国家也废除了类似法律。 This repeal reflects a broader trend as other states also abolish similar laws.
