She's no Marie Harf, that one.

When Mary Kay Letourneau Fualaau was forced to go public in 1997 with an affair she was having with her former sixth grade student, Vili Fualaau, after she became pregnant with his child, it was the teacher-student sex scandal heard around the world.
At the time, Mary was a 34-year-old, married teacher in Seattle, who already had four children of her own. Vili was just 13 years old. Mary was arrested and served seven and a half years in prison.
Today, Mary is 53 and Vili is 31. The couple is still together and are about to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. The two daughters they have together are now teenagers -- older than Vili was when the affair started.
Mary and Vili sat down for an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters to talk about how they managed to stay together all these years, despite their very public and forbidden relationship.
“If it wasn't strong enough in the beginning, it wouldn't have carried through those years,” Mary told Walters.

What a bunch of weirdos.
The Cicus is in town.
I was impressed with him too. In 1964 he ran for State Senator from Orange County, and won. I’d have voted for him if I’d been old enough.
Crazy eyes.
I thought that as a registered sex offender she wouldn’t be allowed near any children at all.
I know my history. You disagree with my foil.
Please, don’t make a fool of yourself here.
This isn’t DU.
Her father was John George Schmitz who ran for president on the American Independent Party ticket in 1972 and was a member of the John Birch Society so I doubt he ever had anything to do with a Marxist like Lyndon LaRouche.
My grandfather heard of it. After his wife died he married one of his former students 20 years his junior. That was in the 1930s.
According to the article, she did ask. The father said he would not approve.
“What happened to her first husband and the 4 kids she had with him?”
The dad took the kids and they moved to Alaska immediately after the SHTF.
Is that Baba Wawa?
This site is supposed to be home to many of the best minds in our country - but it’s hard to tell from the posts on this thread.
C’mon folks, who told YOU who you could fall in love with? Was it the school board, the parish priest or the U.S. Supreme Court? I know, I know, you’re all going to say that your sense of common decency was the deciding factor and that fear of prosecution had nothing to do with it.
B.S!
Human beings (and I believe that includes most of you) fall in love with whomever they fall in love with. The opinions of others, whether clergy, law enforcement or ordinary busybodies, is irrelevant. If any of those entities does cause the love-stricken one to seek out a mate more palatable to the masses, the subsequent relationship is in for some heavy seas. The new, more acceptable candidate will always be compared with the (enhanced) memory of the earlier love.
Me? I’m just glad Mary Kay and Vili are happy. I hope they don’t run into too many overly judgmental people like I see posting here.
I think that people here are not very keen on the fact that a woman in her 30s seduced a 13 year old boy. IMO, there’s something rather sleazy about it. At the least couldn’t she have waited until he turned 18?
It’s all part of the sodomization of American morals.
“GLBT+” likely already includes “Minor Attracted Persons” ugh.
She's no Marie Harf, that one.
Ironically, according to the book Little Women, “Men should marry women who are half their age, plus seven years.”
They didn’t really delve into that whole “child molestation” thing, however.
Nope but, Harf has only a few years left before her skin dries up, so I’m gettin in on the hittin, while the hittin still good...
For the love of God...
Gotta pluck it while it blooms, you betcha.
