I expect not. There are a variety of levels of fraud here. The husband has already been convicted.

There is a great old story about Winston Churchill. At a dinner party one night, a drunk Churchill asked an attractive woman whether she would sleep with him for a million pounds. “Maybe,” the woman said coyly. “Would you sleep with me for one pound?” Churchill then asked. “Of course not, what kind of woman do you think I am?” the woman responded indignantly. “Madam, we’ve already established what kind of woman you are,” said Churchill, “now we’re just negotiating the price.”…

On that humorous note, would this case not also fall under low standard used in pimp/prostitution/john(s)-once money changed hands?
