I am sure most of you are wondering how adultery is a federal crime, well it's not except that he lived on a reservation which is federal property and that made it a federal crime.

Today adultery is a misdemeanor in most of the states with laws against it, some — including Michigan and Wisconsin — categorize the offense as a felony. Punishments vary widely by state. In Maryland, the penalty is a paltry $10 fine. But in Massachusetts, an adulterer could face up to three years in jail.
