He explicitly had claimed that he was being exclusive. That means that he sought intimate communications with her under false pretenses. You're okay with fraud, then?
Don't get me wrong. It does suck to be cheated on (even if it's just online). But if the couple isn't formally married to begin with, I don't think society should interfere. Society has too much to deal with already.
Also, you say "fraud", but to me fraud usually involves a specific monetary value that was taken under false pretense. In that sense, financial fraud is much easier to deal with because it's much more quantifiable than just emotional fraud (and yes, my own definition of "fraud" could be wrong, you don't need to prove it by quoting a dictionary for me. It's just that my point remains. As a society, financial fraud is much easier to deal with than other kinds of fraud).
