Mary Kay Letourneau........

[bellacam]

OK. So now shes out. He's 21 now and she's 42. They have 2 children together. Is it ok now? It's still pretty abnormal to me, but Vili Fualaau is challenging a court order that bars Letourneau from contacting him as part of her child rape sentence. What do you think?

 

[preshi]

I think he's an adult, if he wants to see her he should have every right to.

 

[TDC Nala]

Of course, the first reaction is usually "eeewww"

But he's an adult now, and the courts shouldn't stop them.

 

[lisajl]

I don't think what she did was right, but he is an adult now.
I feel for his mom. She is the one that has raised their two girls.

I live in the same town as Vili and my daughter went to Shorewood Elementary until 3rd grade. I, for one, do NOT feel the least bit sorry for his mother. She knew what was going on from day one and even let the woman sleep over at her home. She also has spent every last penny of Vili's money on extravagance - living downtown at one of Seattle's hotels for one thing - until it was all gone. As far as I'm concerned his mother's actions have put him where he is today; broke, no job, and ready to go back to Mary K. I am not sticking up for Mary K in any way, but his mother was just as guilty by allowing the affair to go on, then capitalizing on it.

 

[lisajl]

Oh wow! I had no idea his mother had done that!

Was she the one that tried to sue?

There have been so many similar cases, it's hard to keep up with all of them.

I think that if they want to be together now fine.........I also think about all the 65 year old men that are with 25 years old, no difference just it has always seemed Ok for an older man to be with a younger woman but not the other way around! Heck I am in my early 40's and when I was on an online dating service all I got was mail from OLD men very rarely anyone closer to my age! What's up with that ?
I do feel that what she did when he was 12 was defineately wrong, but now they have had 7 + years to think things over and they feel they still love one another than so be it.

 

[grinningghost]

I believe the court order has been lifted and they're free to see each other now. Good, whatever, as long as this story goes away soon.

 

[ripleysmom]

I have no problem with it either

 

[Kallison]

WEll I look at my son who is 12 and think how in the world could she do that?? She is a disgusting woman.

That is interesting about his mother, according to an interview she did she kind of hinted to the fact that her son was a special needs kid and Mary Kay took advantage of that.

I have to say I work in a middle school and some of the kids are very mature looking, for a teacher to capitalize on that is just absolutely reprehensible and the lowest kind of disgusting. Some of these kids are crying for attention through their suggestive clothing and some are sexually active but for an adult in charge to take advantage of that and then try to portray it as some kind of big meeting of the souls. Puhleeze, she is sick, sick, sick. They would be smart to stay away from each other, the tabloids will have a field day. Those girls will be raised in a media three ring circus.

 

[snoopy]

I saw the mother on TV once, she looked whacked. And I do remember hearing that she was o.k. with the relationship with her child and his teacher. So sad for him, and most of all, for the children produced from that union.

But I'm with everyone else, he is an adult now, the court order should be lifted.

 

[Serena]

I agree it's a sick situation any way you look at it. But the order should be lifted. It serves no purpose now that he's an adult.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[Disney Doll]

He is 21 and legally an adult, so I think that any court order banning contact shoud be lifted. If they choose to be together at this point, then so be it.

 

[Olaf]

Yes, he's an adult now, but you can't help but wonder how he would have turned out had this nut case kept her hands to herself.

There is a HUGH difference between a 23 year old women and a 65 year old man. She is an adult a 12 year old is a child. Not to mention she was an authority figure "HIS TEACHER". That is what makes it wrong! It was a crime!

As far as now however, he is an adult now that he is 21. He can do what he wants.

I watched an interview he gave to Matt Lauer. He kept saying he wanted to do a book with her. I kinda got the idea that was his motive for wanting to get in touch with her. To make money!

The ones I feel sorry for are there children. Being raised by grandma and a teenage dad who drinks and takes drugs. They went to see there mom in prison every other week.

 

[HollyJoy]

I have mixed feelings about it. I totally believe that what she did was wrong, and was child rape. She had no business messing around with that boy. However, now that she's out, and he's of age and WANTS to see her, who are we to decide that they can't be together? Dunno. I do wonder though, that if it was an older man and a young girl in the situation, would people feel differently? Something to think about. So where do the kids factor in now?

I honestly think that it is none of my business. The man is an adult, and if he wants to see the mother of his children then he should. I really want the story to go away too. I would rather listen to an extended weather segment on the news than hear about the two of them.

 

[Pop Daddy]

I hope he dont marry her, she might see some hot 12 year old out there and leave him

 

[MelessaG]

Quite frankly, with an ongoing war and Presidential campaign to keep them busy, (not to mention all the psycho husbands killing their wives) I'm not sure why the news media thinks it's important to keep updating us with their "will they/won't they" stories about them. I just don't care. I agree with Pop Daddy, he's probably "too old" for her now anyway.
