Mary Fualaau (born January 30, 1962 in Orange County, California (formerly Mary Kay Letourneau, née Mary Katherine Schmitz) is a former schoolteacher infamous for having an affair with a very young student, giving birth to two children by him, and later marrying him after being convicted of statutory rape and serving several years in prison.

Background

Mary Kay Letourneau's father was John G. Schmitz, a Roman Catholic U.S. Congressman from Orange County, California and a professor at Santa Ana College. Schmitz was generally considered one of the more conservative members of the House, and he ran for President of the United States in 1972 on the conservative American Independent Party ticket.

Her mother Mary Schmitz was a homemaker and anti-feminist activist. Mary Kay was one of seven children born to the couple, but she also has two half-siblings who were the result of a longtime affair between her father and his mistress. One of Mary Kay's brothers, Joseph E. Schmitz, was appointed Inspector General of the Department of Defense by George W. Bush.

Mary Kay Schmitz married Steve Letourneau on June 30, 1984. The couple had two daughters and two sons.

The teacher-student relationship

Letourneau first met Vili Fualaau (born June 26, 1983) when he was a student in her second grade class at Shorewood Elementary School in Burien, Washington. He was then eight years old; she was 29. She became his teacher again when he was in the sixth grade, and their sexual relationship began during the summer of 1996, when Vili was 13 and she was 34. Her husband became aware of the situation when he read their letters to each other in February of 1997 and revealed it to family members. His cousin then reported the relationship to local child protection services.

Legal matters

On February 26, 1997, Letourneau was arrested for statutory rape, which is called "child rape" in Washington. Four months later, she gave birth to her and Fualaau's daughter, Audrey Lokelani Fualaau. On August 7, 1997, she pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree statutory rape. She was sentenced to 89 months in prison by Judge Linda Lau.

The prison term was suspended, and Letourneau was sentenced to serve six months in county jail and enroll in a three-year sex offender treatment program. She was released from jail early on (January 1, 1998) for good behavior, on the condition that she not see Fualaau. However, on February 3, 1998, police discovered Letourneau in a car with Fualaau and arrested her for violating the conditions of her suspended sentence. She had also failed to comply with her sex offender treatment program. In the car, police found $6,500 in cash, baby clothes, and a passport, indicating that Letourneau had been planning to leave the country. The original sentence of seven and a half years was reimposed.
