Love and Other Torts: DA Sues Old Pal She Says Slept With Her Husband

I submit the first line of a June 29th AP story quoted in NY Lawyer as a fine example of pithy writing:

SMITHFIELD, N.C. (AP) — The Johnston County district attorney is suing her children's godmother and is seeking damages, saying the woman had sex with the prosecutor's husband.
The last line of the article states that the DA is seeking damages in excess of $10,000 and punitive damages in excess of $10,000.

There it is: almost everything you'd want to know.  For myself, someone who likes to do the math, I'm interested in the number of times the couple had sex so I can calculate a real dollar figure for the cost of sin.  (Yes, the wages of sin are death, but I assumed that was the final balloon payment.  I'm want to calculate the installment payments.)
