Letourneau died fairly suddenly in her home late Monday, her former attorney David Gehrke told CNN. Most of her family was with her, including Vili Fualaau, her former student and ex-husband who was giving her 24-hour care the last month of her life. Letourneau pleaded guilty to raping 13-year-old Fualaau when she was 34.
She gave birth to Fualaau's child before she served seven years in prison on charges related to the rape. The couple later had a second child.Letourneau and Fualaau got married in 2005 soon after she was released from prison, but Fualaau filed for legal separation in 2017 just before their 12- year anniversary.It is not clear why Fualaau filed for the separation.
How is it possible to rape without an erected penis? Strap on ?
Coming from CNN who cares!!
Hey New Yorkers. Gov. Cuomo placed 6700 Covid patients in nursing homes? It is your family members he killed. He wrote an immunity clause in your 2020 budget bill that lets him off the hook. Is a law that a criminal writes enforceable! Just asking?
Let’s get Bill Clinton’s take on this
So y’all still glamorizing this pedophile huh?
I doubt if she raped him.
She was the cancer.
If a child is 13 they can not give informed consent therefore it would be rape.
You should really question rhe mentally and morals of whoever posted the original tweet
GhislaineMaxwelldidnotkillherself The next soon to be trending hashtag. Right Hillary and Bill?
Breaking News You must be childlike to enter the Kingdom of Heaven Real news for you
Enjoy Hell
CNN is saddened, I’m sure. I’m surprised they’re not hailing her as an inspiration to LIEberal pedos everywhere. Maybe the country is not desensitized enough to child sex yet for that phase of the liberal social experiment.
Oh what a pity,this sucks my heart right now
Thank you for fixing the tweet and the article.
Wow, when the tweet said 'relationship' all the comments I saw were saying 'did you mean rape?' But now that it says rape I'm seeing gross comments
This story was all over the place when i was a young teen. I remember being a little jealous of the student.
CancelDonLemon CNNPolitics CNN FoxNews The people are tired of divisiveness. People are tired of the news splitting America. YouTubers have more views than CNN. Terry has done more for Black Lives than BLM. IStandWithTerryCrews
So sorry
Now if only those that F their own daughters would die.🍿🍿🍿
Thank you for fixing the headline. She raped a kid, not had a relationship with him.
CNN a NEWS NETWORK I JUST don't see it they report very little world news anymore or even local USA NEWS. ALL there efforts is on TRUMP AND how they can destroy him. THIS network with all there hate for this man for over 3 years now will guarantee another 4 YEARS TERM for trump
See Lincoln Project, Hydroycloroquine had nothing to do with her death. All of the breakthroughs we have in cancer could not prevent her death.
She was a pedophile
Child molester dies...good riddance
Thank you for correcting your tweet!
BengahziAintGoingAway
Thank you for the update
Now God gets to judge her a second time?
The female rape of a male child victim warrants the same outrage and consequences dealt to males who rape girls. The effects are no less devastating. Male child victims deserve better.
RIP
Karma
ripbozo
Thank you for stating she was a rapist and it wasn’t an affair.
Can I transition to a black male? I know I can transition to a woman even though I was born a man...so...can someone answer this question? I just wanna be like shaunking he’s my idol. WhatMatters2020
Poor kid never had a childhood!😥
Love it when karma makes her appearance.
Disgusting
I’ll just leave this right here...
Karma
French president and his wife did the same thing in high school. It wasn't a big deal in France.
Who would’ve thought CNN would have to retract an incorrect report.
'It is not clear why Fualaau filed for the separation'. Because she raped him when he was 13 and used her power to control him when he was too young to know any better.
No sympathy for a child predator. She raped and groomed a 12 he old boy when she was 34. Cancer was the karma she deserved.
Am I the only one who lived vicariously through that 13 year old kid?

“Relationship”? Really CNN ? REALLY?
gtconway3d Karma..
gtconway3d Good, one less deplorable on this earth
I married my teacher too.. I was a senior when we met. She was a surfer girl we fist met at the Pontevedra Beach.. She became my English teacher weeks later. She was 21 years old. Now we have 6 beautiful children..
Rape. It was rape. R. A. P. E.
Convicted of raping a12 year old .... let’s correct the headline cnn
A headline story written with kid gloves. I’m so surprised CNNitscalledrape
Trump is a rapist.. How come nobody ever says anything about it.. He reluctantly frequented the SEX island of a dear close friend and comrade.. Where's the uproar.. It's a fact..
Rape, not a relationship. Is it because the victim is male? Do better
12 year olds don’t have relationships. The child was raped
It wasn't a relationship. It was child rape.
Baby world news U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Stephen Biegan criticized John Bolton for his old, rotten and negative appearance.
gtconway3d Holy f***in f***! Are you kidding me? All these MAGA whackadoo’s accusing anyone they could find of running a child sex ring and here their effin asses are saying “oh they were in love, age didn’t matter”?!? We live in bizarre times😳.
Wow. Wasn’t expecting that
Quick change it to Corona to pump up your BS numbers
WTF! She raped a 12yo boy. A 6th grader. That wasn't a relationship. She continued to abuse that boy and then that man by manipulation and control. She was and is forever a monster who raped a child.
“relationship” SHE RAPED HIM.
She did not rape him. I'm not saying it was right or wrong but they ended up marrying and having more kids. He even said he approached her first. At 12 you know right from wrong. That was their story and judging this woman in a derogatory way wont change it. It was their choice.
I remember she did a tv interview on GMA I think. They were handling her with such kid gloves and I couldn’t help but think that if a man had done what she did but to a 13 year old girl, he would’ve been treated much harsher; and deservedly so. So why’d they go easy on her?
A distortion of love!
You misspelled 'the Seattle child rapist.' Fixed it for you.
PDFile 🤢
Rape sympathisers reporting again I see .
Donald J. Trump says that you are fake news. CNN
gtconway3d Why are you retweeting this?
Donald.J Trump says that you are fake news.
The woman was not right in the head. Feel badly for her children. May she rest in peace.
What a desperately sad story. RIP Mary Kay. Condolences to those who loved her.
cnn staffs educated minds who go on to write headline stories like: 'the seattle teacher who was convicted in 1997 for her relationship with her teenage student' instead of simply condensing it to: the seattle teacher that raped her student straight to the point
WeStandWithPahlavi
Was she 58 in 1997 or 58 in 2020?
They were in love 😍
Great a rapist is dead. Find it interesting that you call it a relationship & use her name instead of just calling her a rapist. You don't have breaking news articles for each individual killed by covid but take the time for a rapist?
Ya, know. None of us walked in Mary or Vili's shoes, we cannot say what they experienced, felt,or lived. They had a life some in the public eye. All I can say is that I feel for them, and I hope their children have a happy life.
Awesome clip that shows highlights of Don Lemon.... What a class act.
How is this news?
Why the fuck would you morn a child molester? I pray the kids are ok, but I can't have no respect for her.
Kalofae Mary Kay....🙏🏽
Lots of experts and judges here who have no need for facts or evidence. My observation would be that the law is more often than not an ass and it changes by location & over time. As for 13 year old boys my recollection is that they aren’t as innocent as their mothers think.
Terrible caption
It was rape under law but it was obviously an inappropriate, under age relationship. While I agree with the legal definition I’m cautious that what happened between this teacher and her student is not considered on equal terms with violent sexual assaults or rape.
I feel bad for her kids and ex-husband. Their relationship was never easy.
she knew life is short
Okay why is this news?
She is probably where she belongs 🔥
Relationship with her student?! That’s like calling Ghislaine Maxwell a tutor! Shame the Fock on you! He was 12. She was a pedophile.
A pox on all your houses
And nothing of value was lost, also it's rape not a relationship.
It was not a relationship! It was rape and pedophilia! She was a sex offender and should have had all her kids taken away! Monster!
Anyways, So what y’all doing this weekend?
gtconway3d She was a woman in love and age didn’t matter . I pray she finally has peace and for her family . 🌹
Karma
God damn, Bill Barr got to her too, eh.
PeneCell Strict Catholic upbringing: Her other brother, Joseph E. Schmitz, was Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense under President George W. Bush,[15] was a senior executive with Academi, and is a foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump.[16]
gtconway3d God rest her soul.
She both raped her studen and had a relationship with him. Both are true.
Stop framing this as anything other than rape.
gtconway3d I don’t understand the use of the word “affair” as pertains to a minor student, CNN
Yeah? Many more of these child molestors will be going down.
This wasn’t an affair or a relationship, it was rape! The fact they married later is immaterial, it’s still rape!!
I feel bad for her children
“For her relationship.” You misspelled “for raping her.”
He was 12 years old. The word you're looking for is 'rape', not 'relationship'. Be better.
gtconway3d Her *rape* not 'relationship'
rElaTionsHip
Where's your fact checkers? She was NOT from Seattle but Burien and lived in Tacoma.
I want to feel bad but this bitch was pedophile.
Rape. Not relationship. Rape. Do better.
How dare you call child rape ‘an affair’? Who edited this? 😡
Wow she died sorry to hear about it
It wasn’t a relationship. It was rape of a child. Do better, CNN.
Rape of her teenage student.
The Macrons must have been lucky.
You misspelled rape.
CNN YOU MISSPELLED RAPE
« Relationship » ? « Affair »? It was a RAPE.
It's called rape. She raped him. She was a rapist
gtconway3d There is a word for what she did. Four letters. RAPE. Not mentioned in that article.
gtconway3d RIP ❤️
It was RAPE cnn not a 'relationship' don't care what happened after he was an adult. she was convicted of 2nd degree rape. Man or Woman a rapist is a rapist point blank. no reasoning or side speak or explanations💯 Wording is very important, as if what she did was less criminal
Karma came for you haha
Are all the kids grown now? That's who I'm thinking of rn
For doing what to a 12 year old boy?
He is finally free
RELATIONSHIP? Shut the f(k up. You've had 23 years to finally get this right.
Not a relationship if he was 6th grade! She used her power to rape him!
gtconway3d I think her actions were wrong, but I'm sorry to hear she went out this way. Effing cancer. nobody deserves it..
Mary Kay Letourneau, the Seattle teacher who was convicted in 1997 for RAPING her teenage student, has died of cancer, her former attorney says. She was 58. FixedHeadline
She was a pedophile and a pervert. PERIOD END OF STORY.
Letourneau sexually abused her student. Horrible person. Horrible.
At least seattletimes published it with a realistic title:
RAPE. The word you’re looking for isssssss———-RAPE
gtconway3d Was not convicted for having a relationship or an affair. She was convicted of raping a child who was her student.
In 2020, liberals would be celebrating her.
gtconway3d CONVICTED FOR WHAT? SHE RAPED HIM. He was 12 years old!
You can say 'rape.' She was convicted.
so the dude got laid, big deal 🙄
“Affair”
gtconway3d Sweet, one more dead pedophile. It’s nice to get some good news now and then.
This is a sad story all around. Rest in peace.
I’m certain the phrase you were looking for was not “relationship with,” it was “rape of.”
Weird wording. If it was a 13 year old girl you wouldn’t call it an affair
Alot of people, including the news, seem to have forgotten that Mary Kate Letourneau wasn’t a woman who “had an affair with a student.” She was a pedophile who seduced a 12 year old child. Stop with the “She was so young. She was only 58.” Because he was young. He was only 12.
Condolences to her family
gtconway3d A teacher arrested for an affair with her 13 year old student. Correction: A pedophile arrested for raping her 13 year old student. Please don't normalize Pedophilia and child rape.
gtconway3d I just read that she had six innocent children, who have most likely have not had it easy. Perhaps we could show some grace, for them.
gtconway3d My heart goes out to her children and husband.
So very sad for her family. I always felt this was a media rampage on an unconventional, yet very real, love.
gtconway3d Oh my.
gtconway3d The world is a better place.
I think you mean for raping her student. A 12 year old boy can’t enter into a consensual relationship with an adult.
Like, she was bad, but wait til you hear who is on the nickel and the $2 bill!
The sad thing is her kids see what we say. It is sad for them but she def was a rapist.
gtconway3d Teachers have had many an inservice warning them to watch out & report potential situations like this because of this well-documented case. People in her school knew something was going on & did nothing.
You mean, “Convicted child rapist, Mary Kay Letourneau died of cancer.”
Not a “relationship”
gtconway3d A teacher raping a 12 year old student is a fucking crime. Just because she’s dead, sympathy is not required!
gtconway3d Affair? 🙄🤦🏻♀️
12-year-olds don't have affairs. She raped him.
gtconway3d Relationship? Normalizing Rape doesn’t help CNN get your shit together
gtconway3d In today's news that I don't care about, a child predator/pedophile died. I'll be opening up some ben & Jerry's to celebrate...i mean mourn. Sorry. sheRapedakid
gtconway3d Seriously cnn she raped a 12 year old sixth grade child!!! Relationship My ass!!
gtconway3d She molested a child. She molested a child. She molested a child.
gtconway3d I wanted to deal with all of this baloney. But I am the person who deals with ALL TBI’s baloney.
