Mary Kay Letourneau released from prison

GIG HARBOR, Wash. - Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher convicted of having sex with a sixth-grade student, was released from prison yesterday, and her now 21-year-old victim quickly sought to get back together with her.

Vili Fualaau, unemployed and working on his GED, is challenging a court order that bars Letourneau from contacting him.

Letourneau, 42, slipped out of prison quietly after midnight and was met by dozens of media outlets and a group of rowdy teenage boys waving signs that said, "I'm 18, Baby!" and "Take Me Home."

Letourneau was 34, married with four kids and teaching in an elementary school in suburban Des Moines, Wash., in 1996, when she began having sex with the sixth-grader.

When Letourneau was arrested in 1997, she was already pregnant with Fualaau's daughter. A judge sentenced her to six months in jail for second-degree child rape and ordered her to stay away from him.

A month after Letourneau was released, she was caught having sex with Fualaau in her car. She was sent to prison for 7 ½ years and gave birth to Fualaau's second daughter behind bars.

Letourneau's two daughters with Fualaau are now 6 and 7. They have been raised by Fualaau's mother and visited Letourneau in prison about twice a month. Her four older children live in Alaska with her ex-husband, and visited a few times a year.

Letourneau has kept mum on her plans for a reunion, saying only, "I'm not allowing myself to think about being with him. We had a beautiful relationship, and I value it for what it was."

That Fualaau and Letourneau would want to get together was no surprise to some who know her well.

"She has a personal need to get back together with him to prove to the world this is a love story and not a crime story," said Gregg Olsen, who wrote a book about Letourneau's case. "Part of Mary Letourneau will never let go of this love."

Court lets ex-teacher, pupil she raped, can reunite

SEATTLE, Washington (CNN) -- A judge in Seattle on Friday lifted an order that barred contact between former school teacher and convicted rapist Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau, the now 21-year-old man whom she was convicted of assaulting when he was her student at the age of 13.

Letourneau was released from prison Wednesday and, within hours, Fualaau petitioned the court to lift the no-contact order, saying he still loves her.

The order was part of her sentence in 1997. The prosecutor's office said the court took into consideration that the victim is now a legal adult, and determined there was no legal basis to prevent contact between the two of them.

The couple's daughters, ages 5 and 7, live with Fualaau's mother, and he mostly lives with family friends. Fualaau is unemployed and didn't finish high school.

Letourneau was a 35-year-old elementary school teacher in the Seattle suburbs when she began having sex with the sixth-grader. She was already a mother of four at the time.

At a 2002 civil trial, Fualaau testified, "We had sex in the gym, we had sex in the girl's bathroom and we had sex in her classroom."

When Letourneau was arrested in 1997, she was already pregnant with Fualaau's daughter. Though she professed her love for the boy, a judge sentenced her to six months in jail for second-degree child rape, and ordered her to stay away from him.

A month after Letourneau was released, she was caught having sex with Fualaau in her car. She was sent to prison for 7 1/2 years, and gave birth to Fualaau's second daughter behind bars.

As a sex offender, Letourneau will have to register with the state and receive court-ordered treatment.

Author Gregg Olsen, who has been closely following the case, told CNN, "So many people see this as a love story and want to see them together. I do want to remind people that he was 12 and 13 years old when this thing happened, and his life has been profoundly impacted by what she did."

Olsen said he met with Fualaau three weeks ago, and found him mature following such a troubling past.

"Everything bad that could happen to a teenage boy, which is what he was at the time, happened to him," Olsen said
