Actually, in many states adultery is a statutory crime. This is a brief statement from a law review document. Obviously, this is one law that is most often overlooked.
"Several state legislatures have statutorily defined adultery as a crime. The public policy reason for this classification is to further peace and order in society by preservation of the sanctity of family relationships and to proscribe conduct that undermines such relationships. Under the law of some states, one act of adultery constitutes a crime, whereas in others, there must be an ongoing and notorious relationship. The punishment set by statute may be greater for an individual who engages in repeated acts of adultery than for one who commits an isolated act.
