Husband of Mary Kay Letourneau files for separation
SEATTLE – The man who married his former sixth-grade teacher after she was jailed for raping him has filed for legal separation from her.
King County court records show 33-year-old Vili Fualaau asked the court for a legal separation from 55-year-old Mary Kay Letourneau on May 9.
Letourneau is a former suburban Seattle teacher who became tabloid fodder when she was convicted in 1997 of raping the then 12-year-old Fualaau. She was 34 and a married mother of four when the relationship began.
The couple married on May 20, 2005, in Woodinville, Washington, after she served a 7 1/2-year prison term for child rape. They have two daughters together.
