LeTourneau Needs A Pickle Dish: April nuptials set for child rapist, 43 and victim/fiance, 22
Report: Letourneau to wed former pupil
It’s getting to the point where a report of a female teacher having sex with an underage male student is almost yawn-inducing. Where’s the outrage? If it were yet another story of a male teacher have sex with an underage female, the lynch party would already be enroute to the teacher’s home, armed with torches, rope, and pitchforks. Is it just me, or do I smell a double standard? A male teacher having sex with a young girl is a sexual predator, while a female teacher having sex with a young boy is merely fulfilling every junior high school boy’s fantasy?
Usually, and thankfully, these stories appear, are dealt with by the criminal justice system, and then the principles move on to the next act in their lives. Then there is previous DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener Mary Kay LeTourneau, who is nothing if not persistent. Now, after not only bedding an underage Vili Fualaau on numerous occasions, but also bearing two of his children (he was 13 when the first child was born) and being sentenced to seven years in prison, she is getting what she wanted all along- Vili Fualaau. Not exactly a modern-day Romeo & Juliet, but I suppose true love can sometimes take some strange turns. Seldom, though, will you run across a stranger love story than this one…and they’re registered at Macy’s!
You’d be hard-pressed—on Valentine’s Day no less!—to find more romantic news than this: Convicted boy lover Mary Kay LeTourneau and her former sixth-grade student have set an April wedding date. The 43-year-old LeTourneau, who spent more than seven years in jail for the rape of Vili Fualaau, is scheduled to tie the knot with her now 22-year-old lover on April 16, according to a Macy’s wedding registry. TSG is tapped out, or we’d spring for that KitchenAid mixer ($249.99) or those Kate Spade drinking glasses ($20.00). However, we’re not touching that $12.50 Villeroy & Boch pickle dish…from the happy couple’s decidedly modest wish list, which you can find in its entirety here.
I suppose, in a sick sort of way that LeTourneau and Fualaau deserve each other. If nothing else, their two children deserve the opportunity to grow up in a loving home with their mother and father. Since they are both adults, there is now nothing that can keep them apart. LeTourneau has paid her debt to society, and Fualaau waited for her. At this point, if they want to spend their lives together, we should all be wishing them well. Nothing and nobody can legitimize the way their relationship started, nor remove the stain on LeTourneau’s character and reputation. Fualaau has the right to determine who he wants to spend his life with, and if LeTourneau is “the one”, then so be it.
It might not be the way you or I might do it, but if it works for thses two DUMB@$$E$, then so be it. At this point, they probably deserve each other.
