Re: consquences of adultery (mistress)
Other than possible defamation, which would be hard to prove, there is nothing that can be done. Alienation of affection has been eliminated as a cause of action in Ohio since the mid 1970's. Unless you can prove some form of intentional tort or slander, it is best to move on.
