Home wrecker really a victim?

I was reading an interesting article about a woman who had an affair with a married man. What was interesting to me, was the angle she chose to write it in. She was in graduate student, and he was (not hers) a professor at the same college. He was 52, she was 29. It started like any other relationship, but somehow she made it about how she felt shame and embarrased (all understandble), but didnt really take responsibility for what she knowingly did. So my question is, if your husband cheated or someone's husband that you know cheated, could you ever consider the "other woman" a victim too? FYI, there was no rape and no sexual assault. ***HERE IS A PORTION OF THE ARTICLE. Also, just to add, could a man get away with saying he is a victim when cheating on his wife?
