Vili Fualaau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vili Fualaau (born June 26, 1983) is a Samoan-American who became infamous when at the age of 13 he had sex with his 34-year old teacher Mary Kay Letourneau. Letourneau was arrested and charged with statutory rape. The sexual encounters resulted in two daughters, prison for Letourneau, and a long-standing court order forbidding them from seeing each other.

In 2002, Fualaau's mother filed a civil suit against the Highline School District and the city of Des Moines, Washington for not protecting him from Letourneau. The suit was dismissed.

On August 6, 2004, 2 days after Letourneau's release, Fualaau, aged 21 years, applied to the court to lift the no-contact order, which was granted. Vili Fualaau and Mary Kay Letourneau were married on May 20, 2005.

Vili co-authored the book Un seul crime, l'amour with Mary Kay.

Vili Fualaau was sentenced in SeaTac, WA on June 16, 2006 to a year in jail for drunk driving, with the time suspended except for one day. He was pulled over for speeding Dec 22, 2005; a breath test found a blood-alcohol level of 0.136, above the 0.08 state limit[1]

According to People Magazine[2][3] Fualaau is currently unemployed, but hopes to become a tattoo artist.

Since the People Magazine article, Vili is currently working as a D.J. at the China Sea restaurant in Des Moines, Washington as of 2007[citation needed].
