Letourneau was jailed in 1997 for seven years for second-degree child rape after admitting to having a sexual relationship with her then-12-year-old student Vili

Letourneau was jailed in 1997 for seven years for second-degree child rape after admitting to having a sexual relationship with her then-12-year-old student Vili – a story that generated worldwide headlines.
Fualaau was in Letourneau’s second grade class in Seattle, but the teacher did not begin to have a sexual relationship with her student until four years later when he was 12.
Letourneau, then 34, was fired from her job, got a divorce from her first husband, lost custody of her four children and was sent to prison.
But the media attention and jail sentence did not stop her from marrying her younger lover shortly after her release in 2004.
She gave birth to the couple’s first child while out on bail that year, and their second while in prison.
As recently as August 2017, Fualaau was working at a branch of Lowes Home Improvement in Seattle. He also works part time as a DJ under the name DJ Headline.
Letourneau was employed as a legal assistant, unable to teach due to her status as a sex offender, but it’s not clear whether she is still working as one.
Her sex offender status has been downgraded from Level 2 to Level 1, meaning her name no longer appears on a state-wide sex offenders register.
