»Mary Kay Letourneau had sex with a 12yro boy«

After seven years at the Washington Corrections Center for women at Purdy, the angelic-looking teacher whose seduction of a sixth-grader launched a thousand tabloid covers is getting out of prison.

Mary Kay Letourneau becomes a free woman Wednesday. It'll be a new chapter in the story of one of the most intriguing criminals of the past decade.
...
"There's no question she's been the most famous, infamous prisoner Washington's ever had and we've had some good ones here. But the world wants to know about this one," said Gregg Olsen, author of the book "If Loving You Is Wrong."

Mary told me the world will know what she calls "the real story" when she is released. She feels she has a "duty to speak" and help people understand the decisions she made more than 8 years ago.

Until her first public appearance in court that day in 1997, Mary Kay Letourneau was known only as a mother of four young children and school teacher at Shorewood Elementary in Burien.

Mary had developed an intense interest in one of her sixth graders -- Vili Fualaau. The boy spent many hours at their home.
...
When their affair was finally reported to authorities, Mary Kay Letourneau was pregnant with Vili's child, and pleaded in court.
...
But it was only one month after her release from prison that Seattle Police found Mary and Vili parked in her car, caught in the act with thousands in cash, clothes and passports at the ready.
...
Mary was headed back to prison, and she was pregnant again.

I asked Mary if she regrets what she did and she said: "Knowing what we had, I should have waited."

And she started to cry when she talked about the impact on her children saying: "I can't touch the pain my children have gone through."

Mary told me her main goal now is "reunification with her whole family including her mother." She said she is in the "healing process" with all six children -- the four she had with first husband Steve, and Audrey and Georgia -- the girls she had with Vili.
