The illicit liaison between Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau resulted in Letourneau serving two jail terms and surprisingly developed into a more than 10-year marriage.

Their saga began in 1996 when 34-year-old Letourneau was Fualaau's sixth-grade teacher. By July of that year, the two were having sex, making Letourneau a child rapist as Fualaau was only 12.

There aren't a lot of female pedophiles, so when Letourneau was arrested in 1997, the news not only rocked the state of Washington, where it took place, but the rest of the U.S.

as well.

In a 2015 interview with Barbara Walters, Letourneau, looking back at that time, told the reporter, "The incident was a late night that didn't stop with a kiss. I thought that it would and it didn't." She goes on to say that she loved Fualaau very much, adding, "And I kind of thought, 'Why can't it ever just be a kiss?'"
