The scandal that shook America
34-year-old elementary school teacher, Mary Kay Letourneau, who was married with 4 kids, began an affair in 1997 with her 12-year-old student, Vili Fualauu.
They didn't just deny the outrageous behaviour, they eventually embraced the love affair that included French-kissing on school grounds, trysts in her van, and even sexual rendezvous in her family home. The question on everyone’s mind was: Is this true love, or is Mary Kay Letourneau a paedophile guilty of child rape?
Wait, there's more!
