CEBU CITY, Philippines – A Briton and his mistress landed in jail after they were caught together inside a house in Moalboal town, southwestern Cebu on Tuesday, July 4.

Moalboal Police Station confirmed arresting the two adults sleeping inside a bedroom in a residential house in Brgy. Tuble, also in Moalboal, around 1:40 p.m. on Tuesday.

The Briton was married and with an address in a gated subdivision in Brgy. Babag 2, in Lapu-Lapu City, located approximately 86 kilometers north of Moalboal.

Police Captain Etelberto Timagos, chief of the Moalboal Police Station, said the 36-year-old British man’s wife sought their assistance after suspecting her husband’s infidelity. The house where the suspects had been arrested reportedly happened to be a conjugal property of the married couple.

Enforcers followed the suspects toward a house in Brgy. Tuble where they eventually caught them in the act of doing the deed, prompting authorities to arrest them.

According to the police, the British suspect may face charges of marital infidelity, which is punishable under the Republic Act No. RA 9262, otherwise known as the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Law (“VAWC Law”).

The mistress, on the other hand, may be filed with cases on concubinage, they added.

CDN Digital has opted not to divulge the identities of the Briton and the mistress to protect the privacy of the families involved

Love those Philippines Stone Age laws and isn't it interesting how those laws are applied and who they are used against.

I wonder if video was used for evidentiary purposes.  We should keep an eye out for it on the internet.

For some reason stories like this have been showing up in Google New Philippines.  Several articles in the past few days, this is the first about a foreigner.  All the rest were Filipino couples.

When I warn people of these archaic laws they give me a funny look and respond with something along the lines of "Surely not!"

Thanks for that Mike.  Curious there must be a reason for that.

In the past the media coverage has featured those "Bad Foreigners".

Many states in the USA have adultery laws, but they’re never criminally enforced; or I should say they haven’t been enforced for a half a century. They, along with infidelity laws, are now mainly used as grounds for a divorce.
