Prosecutors can charge people with all sorts of things. I seriously doubt this will stick.
I have a friend who is politically active around a certain cause -- the details are not important -- and I've noticed that he receives an "update" every day or two with the most outlandish sorts of news. Of course, in a country of 300+ million, odds are something unusual are going on every day. To read the accounts as he does suggests there is some vast conspiracy at work. But to take an honest look at the numbers just shows that, given the randomness of people's behavior, every once in a million times something happens that would piss him off. The rest is just a result of the large number of people and the efficiency of the reporting systems involved.
So I'm assuming that new law isn't being explored, and this is just another example of this phenomenon I've noticed with my friend. What I'm interested in, however, is how the prosecutor came up with the idea to criminally charge him? Did the wife file criminal charges on her own (which I suspect)? I can't imagine this being an issue that the state would have any interest in pursuing. Part of a lame-brain divorce lawyer's case, sure, but not a matter of law enforcement.
Of course, I'm not a lawyer and don't even play one on TV, so whatever you do, don't put any trust in any legal analysis I might give.
