Hi,
The word 'graduate' refers to someone who has got a degree from a university. Milanya is referring you to a famous film called 'The Graduate', where a similar situation occurs to your reference above when a young man sleeps with a married woman.

The only term I can think of is 'adulterer'. The female version is an 'adulteress'.

So, does that mean there is no such word for that kind of person in English? |

Ya I think that is the closest word in English. The only difference is that it can be used to refer to sexual infidelity in general rather than confine to an act done with married woman. |
