The Utah State Legislature is considering whether adultery and sodomy among consenting adults should remain criminal offenses.
The Utah State Legislature’s Criminal Code Task Force unanimously advanced a bill Monday that would make small changes to state law, which included repealing the criminal offenses of adultery and sodomy, according to FOX 13.
“Those have been found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court,” said Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield.
In Utah State Code, adultery is a class B misdemeanor and can result in up to six months in jail. FOX 13 found arrests for it as recently as last year.
