Study Shows Changing Face of Adultery |
SEATTLE, WA - A recent study from the University of Washington revealed that infidelity is increasing and that more women appear to be cheating on their partners.

Between 1991 and 2006, the lifetime rate of infidelity for men older than age 60 rose from 20 percent to 28 percent. For women older than 60 years old, the lifetime rate of infidelity increased from 5 percent to 15 percent in the same period. For those under 35 years of age, 20 percent of men and 15 percent of women admitted to being unfaithful. |

PI Frank Wallace alleges that he was asked to investigate Fumo's ex-girlfriend, Fumo's political opponents and two topless dancers while he was paid by the Senate.
