A female teacher who was jailed for raping a student 1997 and went on to marry him in 2005 tells her unbelievable story.
Mary Kay Letourneau, now 53, spent seven years behind bars after being convicted of raping Vili Fualaau when he was 12 years old. But they’ve now been married for 10 years and have two teenage daughters. She fell pregnant when Fualaau was in sixth grade in 1996 and her then-husband reported her to police after discovering a love letter to him.
She gave birth to a girl while out on bail the next year, spent three months in prison and was freed after plea agreement which started she would have no contact with Fualaau. However, shortly after that Letourneau was caught having s ex with Fualaau and was re-sentenced to seven years in prison.
She fell pregnant again and gave birth to their second daughter while in prison. After Letourneau’s release from prison in 2004, Fualaau, then age 21, filed a motion in court, requesting a reversal of the no-contact order against Letourneau. A few days later the request was granted and they finally tied the knot.
They now live together in Seattle with their two teenager daughters. Besides two daughters from Fualaau, Letourneau has four children from her previous marriage. During the interview about their marriage Fualaau, now 31, called his marriage to Letourneau a “huge relief” and spoke of the depression he experienced as a teenager.
“I don’t feel like I had the right support or the right help behind me. From my family, from anyone in general. I mean, my friends couldn’t help me because they had no idea what, what it was like to be a parent, I mean, because we were all 14, 15,” he said. Letourneau added: “I don’t know if enough time will ever pass to take away what the media did to our story… It’s not our story.”
