'family value' republican convicted under Virginia's Adultery laws....
Advertisements [?]

LOL !!!! it's great when these 'Christians' get tripped up under their very own insane 'family value' laws....the ultimate conviction in Virginia...the 'attorney for the Shenandoah Valley town of Luray, VA...CONVICTED of adultery !!!!! hahahahah...of course, the answer for these 'family value' adulterers is the quickly work on repealing the laws, rather than cleaning up their acts...no info yet on the actual act, but hopefully, it will come out during the upcoming appeal circus....hahahaha...this made a HUGE article in the Washington Post...major impact on DC metro area.....

-snips-

When John Raymond Bushey Jr. became the first person in as long as anyone can remember to be convicted of ADULTERY in Virginia, several things happened:

He resigned his position as attorney for the Shenandoah Valley town of Luray, Va., a job he'd held for 32 years.

As for the folks in Luray, they're just curious about what the snowy-haired Bushey -- 65 years old, married for 18 years to the town clerk and the very model of a courtly Southern lawyer -- was up to.

Like other Class 4 misdemeanors in Virginia, adultery carries a maximum penalty of a $250 fine. Bushey paid half that, plus $36 in court costs. Adultery is also against the law in Maryland, where the penalty is a fine of $10, about the cost of a pecan bar and two large caramel macchiatos at Starbucks. The District will soon join about half of the states in the country by repealing its adultery statute.
