The New Hampshire Supreme Court has overturned a 2003 decision that had defined adultery as voluntary intercourse between members of the opposite sex.
Ruling Thursday in a divorce case, the state supreme court defined adultery as intercourse between a married person and someone other than the married person’s spouse, regardless of sex. Intercourse can include any genital contact, not just vaginal penetration, the court said.
The husband in the case, Robert Blaisdell, had claimed that he was entitled to a divorce on fault-based grounds of adultery because of his wife’s alleged relationship with another woman. Blaisdell’s wife is Molly Blaisdell.

NEW HAMPSHIRE A former New Hampshire chief of police has found himself in legal trouble after allegedly impersonating a police officer on two occasions.
Timothy Connifey, the former Bartlett police chief who pleaded guilty in 2016 to lying to a Carroll County grand jury, was recently charged by Alexandria police with the crimes, New Hampshire Union Leader reported.
Police said in a Facebook post they arrested Connifey March 11 after two separate traffic stops earlier this year during which he “produced a police ID.” The two charges are felonies.
Police said Connifey, who now lives in Bristol, was decertified as an officer after pleading guilty “to felony level charges in 2016,” according to the Union Leader.
