THE MARY KAY LETOURNEAU CASE AND MARY KAY LETOURNEAU’S CHILDREN, EXPLAINED

In the summer of 1996, Mary Kay Letourneau, a 34-year-old Washington State schoolteacher, began a sexual relationship with her former sixth-grade student, Vili Fualaau. Fualaau was just 12 or 13 at the time, but when they were caught in a minivan by authorities, Letourneau initially claimed that the boy was 18. About two months after they were caught, Letourneau became pregnant with Fualaau’s child, and she gave birth to a daughter in May 1997, while awaiting sentencing.

In 1997, Letourneau pleaded guilty to two counts of felony second-degree rape of a child, and through the deal, her sentence was reduced to six months. However, two weeks after she was released, Letourneau and Fualaau were caught having sex in a car, and her plea agreement was revoked. She was ultimately given a maximum sentence of seven-and-a-half years; eight months in, she gave birth to their second child.
