Breaking News: Mary has written a book about her affair with Vili and she will be released from prison in August 2004. Mary's former cellmate, Christina Dress, her close friend and co-author of her book doesn't want to do anything that could cause Letourneau trouble behind bars. When Mary arrived at Purdy women's prison in 1998, she was harassed by inmates.
"Inmates were preparing and sending her food with chemicals in it, spit in it, things like that. Tama Lisa and I put a stop to that...already been at prison, we knew how to handle it." Christina Dress - King 5 TV News
Mary Kay Letourneau: Forbidden Desire - Mary Kay Letourneau, a married, 35-year-old elementary school teacher, shocked the people of Seattle in 1997 when she admitted in court that she had had a sexual affair with a thirteen-year-old student. At the time of her arrest, she was pregnant and claimed she was in love with the boy, Vili Fualaau. Eventually Letourneau gave birth to a baby girl saying she was proud that Fualaau was the father.
About Mary: - Eleven Things I Know to be True by Gregg Olsen - It is time for Vili Fualaau to step forward and tell the world what he wants from this relationship with Mary Letourneau. It is up to him. A heavy burden on a 16-year-old, but he is the father of 2 and is the only one whose opinion matters. If he loves Mary and wants a life with her, we need to back off and get out of the way.

Official Internet Home of Mary Kay Letourneau - "Mary didn't take away my childhood. I gave it away by consent. I knew what I was getting into. She knew what we were getting into. I don't feel one bit in my whole entire body that she ever raped me. I don't love her because she's 30 years old and she doesn't love me because I'm 15 years old. We love each other for who we are. "Do I plan to marry her? Yes, I plan to marry her. She's my world, she's my life, and they all know that I have her ring on still, and it's never going to change." Vili Fualaau, on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Biography: Mary Kay Letourneau - Out -- For the first time since going to jail, Letourneau talks exclusively about her father, whose life also fell apart when he had an affair with a former student; her unhappy marriage, forced by her disapproving parents; and her continuing love for Vili, the father of two of her children.
For the 16th bazillionth time, if Letourneau was a guy & the minor was a girl, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
The only slight surprise is MkL's prisonmates making her life miserable. I didn't think they had it in 'em! <|:-)~~
I think what we will see, now that he's older, and she's getting out, is a glorification of all of this..and that it was all ofr 'Love'.
I can see it now..... a book deal, TV movie, appearances on Oprah. Poster girl for the NEA. "Teaching values to our kids!"
I've got a better idea: How about a prisoner exchange (we take one of their female prisoners and we send MKL) with the Magic Kingdom (Saudi Arabia).
