Bebe 17,289 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 After nearly 20 years, they're still together and say better than ever.Mary Kay Letourneau Fualaau, the former Seattle teacher who in 1997 famously became pregnant by her 13-year-old student whom she went on to marry, is celebrating her upcoming 10th wedding anniversary in a tell-all interview alongside her husband, Vili Fualaau.In a sit-down interview with Barbara Walters, scheduled to air on "20/20" Friday, the couple will discuss their scandalous relationship — which sentenced her to seven and a half years behind bars — and what keeps them together, despite their 21-year age difference, according to ABC.The 53-year-old Letourneau, who today has two teenaged girls with her former sixth-grade student and four others from a prior marriage, will also discuss her plans to have her status as a registered s-x offender lifted and one day teach again.That would come nearly two decades after she was arrested on child rape charges.Vili Fualaau, for his part, will discuss his personal struggle with alcoholism and depression as well as his belief that the system failed him when he was a minor.Following his then-teacher's conviction he filed a lawsuit against the Des Moines Police Department and the Highline School District for failing to protect him from s-xual exploitation, stemming from his relationship with Letourneau.When Letourneau was released from prison in 2004, she told Walters that she planned to marry her former student."We've always planned that and it hasn't changed," she said.Proving her vow to be more than just talk, the couple wed in 2005.Their two daughters are now older than Vili Fualaau was when he conceived them and plan to make an appearance alongside their parents Friday.Source: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ex-teacher-discuss-marriage-life-teen-student-article-1.2176750 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xoxo cupcakke 4,781 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 This title is so misleading. I mean, it was rape by legality but that's just a strange way to title something... Anything for the hits I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Computer 10,980 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I am confused about it. He has alcoholism and depression after the system failing him and s-xual exploitation as a minor. How then is it the case they are better than ever? 💚💛💕❣⭕💢💢 | ⓜⓔⓡⓡⓨ ©ⓗⓡⓘⓢⓣⓜⓐⓢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything for the hits I guess How is is misleading? She was jailed for 7 years for child rape charges. It was statutory rape.I mean lets not. I actually got the title from the original news story I read, but they linked it to the nydailynews and I thought that would be a better source for people here.Yeah it might be a shocking headline, but it's not misleading in the slightest.

Kulture Kiari 3,433 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Why would he later sue other parties for not protecting him from s-xual explotation, when he clearly didnt have a problem with it since he is now married to her? Or am I misunderstanding everything? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emvee 8,829 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 What the **** compels someone to have s-x/have a romantic connection with a 13 year old? :lmao: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebe 17,289 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 That's why it is rape by legality and also, I wasn't accusing you of coming up with the title. I just assumed you posted this from the news sourceThe main issue I have with what you wrote is the idea of "rape by legality" but I'm too tired for this. Maybe I'll come back in an hour or so and talk.This particular case is complicated, because on the surface boh members seem to be happy in the relationship, but we don't know the full story, the full interview hasn't even been released. For all we know he might feel pressure to remain in the relationship due to the kids. She got pregnant when he was 13. The relationship started when he was 12. Generally speaking a s-xual relationship between an adult and a 12 year old is rape. Not just by "legality". He suffered from alcoholism and depression. He seems to believe at this stage that it was due to failings from the "system" but it's not uncommon for victims of child s-xual abuse to turn to alcohol.

Iwontell 7,312 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 It's kind of odd to me how nonchalantly ppl talk about rape in these cases (when it's a woman praying on a boy)...but...maybe I'm just weird, idk...she's done her time, he still wants to be with her...let them be happy... ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
