Letourneau, Fualaau set April wedding date

Mary K. Letourneau and Villi Fualaau before she was imprisoned.

SEATTLE - An online bridal registry says Mary Kay Letourneau and her former sixth-grade pupil, Vili Fualaau, have set the date for their wedding.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports in today's paper that 43-year-old Letourneau and 22-year-old Fualaau plan to wed April 16. Letourneau served seven and a half years on a 1997 conviction for raping Fualaau.

Letourneau was a married mother of four when she began a sexual relationship with the then-12-year-old Fualaau after meeting at Burien's Shorewood Elementary School in 1996, when she was 34. She was pregnant with Fualaau's first child when she was arrested in 1997 and ordered to serve a six-month sentence for second-degree child rape.

One month after she was released, Letourneau was caught having sex with Fualaau in her car. She pleaded guilty in 1997 to two charges of child rape, and gave birth to the couple's second daughter while serving her sentence. Fualaau's mother is raising their two daughters, aged 6 and 7.

Shortly after Letourneau was released from prison last August, the pair successfully petitioned a King County judge to lift a no-contact order that had barred them from seeing each other.

A family friend says they became engaged when Fualaau proposed last fall, but they have been trying to keep wedding details a secret. Noel Soriano says the wedding will likely be held in a Seattle-area church.

**MarshHen** · 02-15-2005, 02:08 AM

Yeah, I saw this and was wondering the same thing.

I also can't help but feel sorry for her four children from her previous marriage. This has to be hard for them.

She is bizzaro to put it mildly

**COUNTRYBUMPKIN** · 02-15-2005, 06:16 AM

I remember when she was sent to prison years ago and yes, she is a bizarro case indeed

**PrairieRose** · 02-15-2005, 11:36 PM

Something is seriously wrong with that woman.

Gee, are any of you going to buy them a wedding gift?

Um...how about a tubal ligation for her and a vasectomy for him! My goodness, I feel so badly for all of her, their and any future children they may have.

She is a very mentally ill woman. It is truly sad, the rapist marrying the victim. I guess he will always be her victim along with all of her children. She is absolutley disgusting.

I've followed this story all along-- there's something strangely fascinating about it to me. How on earth did she find a 12 year old sexually attractive? Not only attractive, but so much so that she lost her husband, her kids, and her career to spend time in prison for him. It's beyond me. Mental illness, for sure.

On the other hand, maybe it's best if the two of them stay together... otherwise she might find herself attracted to another underaged boy.

Who's to say she won't in a few years anyway?
