Mary Kay Letourneau, the Seattle elementary school teacher who was convicted of raping her sixth-grade student before she ultimately married him and had two daughters, said in a new interview she didn’t know the love affair was a crime.
“If someone had told me, if anyone had told me, there is a specific law that says this is a crime,” she said on “Sunday Night” on Australia’s Channel Seven. “I did not know. I’ve said this over and over again. Had I’d known, if anyone knows my personality. Just the idea, this would count as a crime.”
She also said she felt “absolutely” wrongfully convicted.
She added that although Vili Fualaau was 12 years old at the time, 22 years her junior, she claimed he “was the boss” and pursued her, as news.com.au reported

Why do we let these sick fucks walk the streets again?
I’ll be fully honest, I think news reports like this contribute to it some. You always see words like “affair with a minor” and stuff. It puts out that wording and phrasing that is so slippery. You cannot “have an affair with a minor”, you cannot “hook-up with a minor”, none of that. It’s rape.
It definitely contributes, and it’s rarely refers to female perpetrators as the pedophiles they are.
