I think at this point it's generally seen as a waste of time and resources to bring criminal charges against someone or prosecute them for adultery.
From the legislature's point of view, I could see where it would be a bad PR move to repeal a law against adultery (although that's what's probably been done in most states). On the other hand, if someone were to actually get convicted for it, I could also see the courts declaring the law unconstitutional.
I remember there being talk about it in NY during the Spitzer thing. I don't know if NY still has the law on the books.
