1. Yep

I wish them well.

[raysr]

2. Can you imagine

if the sexes were reversed, the outrage?

[Dookus]

17. there

seems to be enough outrage over this to go around. She served 7 years in prison for her crime. They're now both adults and want to marry. I say let them and wish them well.

[ikojo]

23. There would have been outrage at the time but

anytime a 40 something year old MAN is seen with a woman 20 years younger than he, people say to the guy, "whoa dude, you still have it!"

20 year age differences between an older man and a much younger woman are not frowned upon nearly as much as if the genders were reversed...just look at all the hoopla made over Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. People rarely get up in arms about say a Larry King who marries someone FAR younger.

3. Mary Kay is a nutcase

and Vili is too young to know any better.

[Cadence]

4. I think it's gross.

She's a pedophile. :puke:

[Dookus]

5. technically, no

at worst, she's an ephebophile. But since she's marrying him and he's now clearly an adult, and nobody has charged she's engaged in sex with other adolescents, she's probably just a messed up regular heterosexual.

[Cadence]

7. She had sex with him when he was in sixth grade.

She's a pedophile. That's why she went to jail.. twice. I don't care if she has one or twelve victims.. a pedophile is a pedophile.

[Dookus]

9. Then you don't know the meaning of the word

[Cadence]

10. Maybe you don't.

[Dookus]

12. not too likely

considering I used both pedophile and ephebophile in their proper contexts above.

A pedophile has an attraction to children. An ephebophile has an attraction to adolescents. Since Vili impregnated her, he was clearly an adolescent, not a child.

[Cadence]

15. Ephebophile isn't even a word.

He was 11 or 12 when she (an adult) was having sex with him. A 12 year old going through puberty is still a child, and if you don't want to see her behavior as pedophilia that's your deal. Call it whatever you want, but your not convincing me.

[Dookus]

16. look up

ephebophilia

I'm just being precise. I'm not making any value judgments one way or the other. Ephebophilia is distinct from pedophilia.

[saracat]

20. Ephebophile?

I believe you , Dookus. You have taught me a new word! But I still consider this child abuse. And BTW, Vili is also attempting to sue the school district for allowing him to be "raped"! They are planning on using this money to "make a new start"! Wish them well? I don't think so. I think she is a pedophile who has along with her victim progressed to con artist. My sympathies are with the husband and family that she betrayed. I am afraid, Dookus, we must disagree on this one!:) :)

[Dookus]

21. Disagree on what?

What she did was clearly wrong, and she served 7 years in prison for it.

But they're adults now, they want to wed, and nobody has any right to stop them.

[saracat]

26. I just hate to see criminals benefit from their actions. She

is every bit as much a rapist as if she was a male. And now they want to get money from the school district because the kid wants the money to marry his rapist.Sheesh. Even if they are both now adults, and I don't dispute their right to marry, weird as I might find it, I resent the use of taxpayer money ( If they win).
The thought crosses my mind that a woman marrying her rapist would really raise the hackles of out liberal element on DU, but this wouldn't bother them as much. Hmm. As a feminist, who believes in equality regarding the nature of these charges, I think anyone who does this should be subject to punishment and , considering she escaped and screwed him again, seven years, wasn't long enough. I wonder when she will leave him for someone younger? And I am truly pissed that they think they are entitled to school district money for their bad behavior.

[LynneSin]

28. Personally I'm glad they're getting married

Obviously she's fucked up and he's probably fucked up too from what he's been through. By getting married, hopefully they'll stick together instead of finding other people and fucking up those folks lives.


He's an adult and he can do what he wants. I wish them the best and hope they fade quietly into the background and never heard from again!

[saracat]

29. Now theres a good point! However I don't want them to honeymoon

at taxpayer expense! We already had to pay enough for her incarceration, and now he wants to sue! Because he had sex with the woman he is marrying. Unbelievable.

[raysr]

6. Absolutely,

how do you think her other kid's must feel? I'd crawl under a rock.

[Sannum]

8. When I was a kid...

all of the kids wanted to bang the teacher. I guess guy would be their idol.

She is clearly mentally ill.

[webjamn]

11. I went to grade school with her

younger sister. Her sister was a sweet girl but her dad was a state senator from California who would fit right in with today's crop of hypocritical assholes. He was always ranting about the decay of morality in society but it turns out he had a mistress on the side ala Newt. No wonder Mary Kay is screwed up.

[qnr]

13. OK, I'll be the ill-mannered, insensitive one and ask: Why does his head

look so friggin' big?

[FuzzySlippers]

30. LOL

It does look big, doesn't it?

[Not_Giving_Up]

14. I heard that they have two kids

He's 22 now, so he's legal. Still....ick!

[JI7]

18. i think they really love each other

or at least really care and are into each other. Vili is now an adult and Letourneau is in her 40's.

when it first came out it could be seen just as a young guy who got lucky with the teacher. and a teacher who took advantage of a student.

but the fact they still want to be with each other does indicate it's more than just selfish short term pleasure .

[Skittles]

19. WANT TO BUY THEM A WEDDING GIFT ???

[Blue_Roses]

25. lol!

no

[jdots]

22. Oy it's a marrage made in heaven

should they get the fondu dish or matching drool cups ?

[suigeneris]

24. She's nuts. Case closed. nt

[Borgnine]

27. Hey, more power to them.

It's gone on long enough that I believe they geniunely love each other. They're doing better than I am in that aspect.
