BIOGRAPHY
Former elementary school teacher and convicted sex offender. Born Mary Katherine Schmitz, in January 1962, in Orange County, California. She was the fourth child and first daughter of college professor John Schmitz, and his devoutly Roman Catholic wife Mary Schmitz. With plans to pursue a career in politics, she intended to move to Washington, D.C., following her college graduation from Arizona State University. However, while still a student, she became pregnant with the child of fellow classmate Steve Letourneau. In 1985 the couple got married and dropped out of college before moving to his hometown of Anchorage, Alaska. A year later the family moved to Seattle, Washingto! n where they had three more children over the next few years.
In 1989 Letourneau finally got her degree from Seattle University and that fall took a job teaching at Shorewood Elementary School, where she became a respected member of the faculty. In June 1996, she began a sexual relationship with 13-year-old art student Vili Fualauu. In February 1997, Steve Letourneau found love letters that his wife had written to Fualauu. Later that month, a relative of Steve's reported the affair to officials at Shorewood Elementary. The police were notified, and Letourneau (who at the time was pregnant with Fualauu's child) was arrested and charged with statutory rape.
Letourneau gave birth to a baby girl named Audrey in May 1997. Three months later in August, Letourneau pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree rape. Although a defense psychiatrist testified that she suffered from bipolar disorder (a form of manic depression), Letourneau was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison. After serving 80 days, she was granted a release on the condition that she enter a treatment program for sex offenders and she was forbidden from having any contact with Fualauu.
In February 1998, Letourneau violated the terms of her parole when the Seattle police caught her with Fualauu in a! parked car. Authorities found $6,200 in cash, passports, and ! receipts for $850 in clothing purchases, leading them to speculate that Letourneau and Fualauu were planning to flee the country.
Letourneau was sentenced to serve her full prison term of seven and a half years at the Washington Correction Center for Women. In October 1998, she gave birth to a second daughter by Fualauu (supposedly conceived during her brief period of parole). Both girls are being raised by Fualaau's mother, Soona. The Letourneaus have divorced, and all four children from their marriage remain in the sole custody of their father, who has moved with them to Alaska.
Letourneau was released from prison in August 2004. Shortly after her release, a judge lifted an order that barred contact between Mary Kay Letourneau and Fualaau after the 21-year-old Fualaau petitioned the court, saying he still loves her.
