You people in Michigan better be careful when fooling around on your spouse.

In a ruling sure to make philandering spouses squirm, Michigan's second-highest court says that anyone involved in an extramarital fling can be prosecuted for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to life in prison.

"We cannot help but question whether the Legislature actually intended the result we reach here today," Judge William Murphy wrote in November for 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 Michigan's criminal code.

You people are fucking jerks. You actually think we should populate prisons with people who cheat on their spouses? haha.

Sorry you guys got cheated on at some point in your lives, but it's time to let it go.

I don't think prisons should be populated half of the time at all.

Just kill them.

can't say I agree with this. whatever happened to time fitting the crime? I always liked this notion.

Completely insane. Let's let the criminal system go after criminals, and leave personal matters personal.

marriage is supposed to be for life.

so the punishment should be for life.

at least thats what the zealots would probably say.

they can say whatever they like, but it's going to be everybody else having to foot the bill for new prisons because if something like this was ever followed up on, you would be looking at a massive increase in inmates. Thats not cheap at all
