The Noahide Law against "sexual immorality" includes adultery.  However according to the Talmud women are always executed for sex outside of marriage, and so are non-Jews,  however Jewish men are permitted to have sex with the wives of minors and non-Jews without execution; the only time a Jewish man is executed for adultery is if he sleeps with the wife of another Jew.  A Noahide who has accepted the Noahide Laws may escape execution for adultery with another Noahide if he converts to full Judaism, however he cannot escape execution if he commits adultery with a Jew. The Talmud states of a theory that a woman may be brought forth only on the accusation of adultery by her husband, she is stripped to the waist and given a cup of poison to drink, if she is innocent it is believed she will live, however if she is guilty it is believed she will die from the poison. Are American women and non-Jews really expected to consider these kinds of laws and ideas to be sound and reasonable under Public Law 102-14? 


Adultery is only a crime when a married woman has sex with another man other than her husband 
Sexual intercourse of a married woman with any man other than her husband. The crime can be committed only by and with a married woman; for the unlawful intercourse of a married man with an unmarried woman is not technically Adultery in the Jewish law.Adultery, 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia


Noahides who commit adultery with another Noahide may escape execution by converting to full Judaism, but they cannot escape execution if they have committed adultery with a Jew 

A Noachid who slays another Noachid, or worships idols, or blasphemes, or has illicit connection with the wife of another Noachid, and then becomes a proselyte, is free from punishment. If, however, he has killed an Israeli (Sanh. 71b; “Yad,” l.c. x. 4). - Noahide Laws, 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia 


As women only accused of adultery by her husband (without evidence) is striped to the waist in public, dressed in black and her jewelry removed to make her repulsive

MISHNAH. … IF SHE SAYS, 'I AM PURE', THEY BRING HER UP TO THE EAST GATE WHICH IS BY THE ENTRANCE OF NICANOR'S GATE WHERE THEY GIVE SUSPECTED WOMEN WATER TO DRINK, PURIFY WOMEN AFTER CHILDBIRTH, AND PURIFY LEPERS. A PRIEST SEIZES HER GARMENTS — IF THEY ARE RENT THEY ARE RENT, AND IF THEY BECOME UNSTITCHED THEY ARE UNSTITCHED UNTIL HE UNCOVERS HER BOSOM, AND HE UNDOES HER HAIR. R. JUDAH SAYS: IF HER BOSOM WAS BEAUTIFUL HE DOES NOT UNCOVER IT, AND IF HER HAIR WAS BEAUTIFUL HE DOES NOT UNDO IT. — IF SHE WAS CLOTHED IN WHITE, HE CLOTHES HER IN BLACK. IF SHE WORE GOLDEN ORNAMENTS AND NECKLACES, EAR-RINGS AND FINGER-RINGS, THEY REMOVE THEM FROM HER IN ORDER TO MAKE HER REPULSIVE. AFTER THAT [THE PRIEST] TAKES A COMMON ROPE AND BINDS IT OVER HER BREASTS. WHOEVER WISHES TO LOOK UPON HER COMES TO LOOK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HER MALE AND FEMALE SLAVES, BECAUSE HER HEART IS MADE DEFIANT THROUGH THEM. ALL WOMEN ARE PERMITTED TO LOOK UPON HER, AS IT IS SAID, THAT ALL WOMEN MAY BE TAUGHT NOT TO DO AFTER YOUR LEWDNESS. - Soncino 1961 Babylonian Talmud, Sotah 7a-7b


Woman accused of adultery is forced to drink a cup of "bitter water" (poison), if she is innocent she will survive, if she is guilty she will die from the poison 

MISHNAH. WHEN HE COMES TO WRITE THE SCROLL, FROM WHAT PLACE DOES HE WRITE? FROM IF NO MAN HAVE LAIN WITH THEE1  … BUT IF THOU HAST GONE ASIDE, BEING UNDER THY HUSBAND ETC.2  HE DOES NOT, HOWEVER, INCLUDE, THEN THE PRIEST SHALL CAUSE THE WOMAN TO SWEAR,3  BUT CONTINUES WITH, THE LORD MAKE THEE A CURSE AND AN OATH … AND THIS WATER THAT CAUSETH THE CURSE SHALL GO INTO THY BOWELS AND MAKE THY BELLY TO SWELL, AND THY THIGH TO FALL AWAY.4  HE DOES NOT, HOWEVER, INCLUDE, AND THE WOMAN SHALL SAY, AMEN, AMEN. R. JOSE SAYS, HE MAKES NO OMISSIONS.5  R. JUDAH SAYS, HE WRITES NONE OF ALL THIS EXCEPT, THE LORD MAKE THEE A CURSE AND AN OATH ETC. AND THIS WATER THAT CAUSETH THE CURSE SHALL GO INTO THY BOWELS ETC. AND DOES NOT INCLUDE, AND THE WOMAN SHALL SAY, AMEN, AMEN. - 1961 Soncino Babylonian Talmud, Sotah 17a

and if she be not innocent, she reverts to dust.21
