Mary Kay Fualaau (formerly Letourneau; born Mary Katherine Schmitz; January 30, 1962) is an American former schoolteacher who pleaded guilty in 1997 to two counts of felony second-degree rape of a child, her 12-year-old student, Vili Fualaau. While awaiting sentencing, she gave birth to Fualaau's child. Her plea agreement called for six months in jail, with three months suspended, and no contact with Fualaau for life. The case gained national attention.
Shortly after her three-month stint in jail, Letourneau was caught by police having sex with Fualaau in a car. Judge Linda Lau found that she was in violation of the conditions of the plea agreement, vacated her probation, and re-sentenced her to the maximum of seven years in prison. She soon gave birth to a second daughter, while in prison. She was incarcerated from 1998 to 2004.
When Letourneau was released in 2004, Fualaau, by then over 18 years old, persuaded Judge Lau to dissolve the no-contact order. Letourneau and Fualaau married in May 2005.
Early life and education
Mary Katherine Schmitz was born in 1962 in Tustin, California, the daughter of Mary E. (née Suehr), a chemist, and John G. Schmitz (1930–2001), a university professor. She was known as Mary Kay to her family and called "Cake" by her father. She was the fourth of seven children, raised in a "strict Catholic household." When Mary Kay was two years old, her father began his political career and successfully ran as a Republican for a seat in the state legislature. He held positions as a California state senator and U.S. Congressman, winning a special election for an unexpired term in 1970 and the general election later that year. After a primary defeat in 1972, he changed parties and ran for president as an American Independent Party candidate in the 1972 U.S. presidential election. In 1973, Mary Kay's three-year-old brother drowned in the family pool at their home in the Spyglass Hill section of Corona del Mar, California.
Mary Kay attended Cornelia Connelly High School, an all-girls' Catholic school in Anaheim, California, where she was a member of the cheerleading squad for Servite High School. During her high school years, she was reported to have "liked parties, boys, and traveling." She was also a student at Arizona State University, where it was claimed she was a "party-animal."
In 1978, her father was re-elected as a Republican to the California State Senate. He intended to run for the U.S. Senate in 1982, but his political career was permanently damaged that year when it was revealed that he had fathered two children out of wedlock during an affair with a former student at Santa Ana College, where he had taught political science. Her father's affair caused her parents to separate, but they later reconciled. According to friends, Mary Kay felt betrayed and thought her mother was a cold person who "drove him to it" by denying her father affection.
Her brother John Patrick Schmitz was the deputy counsel to President George H. W. Bush. Her other brother, Joseph E. Schmitz, was Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Defense under George W. Bush, was a senior executive with Academi, and is a foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump.
Marriage to Letourneau
While attending Arizona State University, Mary Kay Schmitz met and married fellow student Steve Letourneau; she conceived her first child while she was a student at Arizona State. They subsequently had three additional children. She said that she was not in love with Steve and married him after being urged to do so by her parents. The couple left the university and moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where Steve found work as a baggage handler for Alaska Airlines. After a year in Alaska, her husband was transferred to Seattle, Washington, and she gave birth to their second child. Mary Kay attended Seattle University and graduated in 1989 with a teaching degree.. Later, Mary Kay began teaching second grade at Shorewood Elementary School in the Seattle suburb of Burien.
The Letourneaus' marriage reportedly suffered; they had financial problems and both parties engaged in extramarital affairs. Her attorney, former neighbor, and friend David Gehrke, said that she was "emotionally and physically abused by her husband" during their marriage, and twice "went to the hospital for treatment, and police were called," although no charges were ever filed. She gave birth to two more children. While incarcerated for child rape in May 1999, she divorced her husband, and he gained custody of their four children. In 2010 it was reported that Mary Kay and Steve had become grandparents as their oldest son had a daughter named Ava.
Crime, trial, and conviction
Vili Fualaau was a student in Letourneau's second-grade class at Shorewood Elementary School in Burien, Washington. Fualaau was born in 1983 (21 years after Letourneau) and is Samoan-American. Letourneau later taught a sixth-grade class in which Fualaau was also a student. When she was 34 in the summer of 1996, her relationship with the 12-year-old Fualaau turned from platonic to sexual, in relations Fualaau initiated and both enjoyed. Letourneau was arrested in March 1997 after a relative of her husband contacted the police. Her first child with Fualaau, a daughter, was born in May 1997 while she was awaiting the conclusion of her trial.
Letourneau pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree child rape. Through a plea agreement, she was sentenced to six months (three of which were suspended) in the county jail and three years of sex offender treatment. She was not required to register as a sex offender. As part of her plea agreement, Letourneau agreed to avoid contact with Fualaau.
On February 3, 1998, two weeks after completing her jail sentence, Letourneau was found having sexual relations with Fualaau in her car. Letourneau was impregnated a second time by Fualaau. When she was arrested, police found $6,200 in cash, baby clothes, and her passport inside the car. Letourneau was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in state prison for violating the terms of her probation.
In October 1998, while serving her second stint in jail, Letourneau gave birth to her second daughter by Fualaau. That year, Letourneau and Fualaau co-authored a book, which was published in France, called Only One Crime, Love (Template:Lang-fr). In 1999 a second book appeared, this one published in the United States, but written with only minimal cooperation from her, and none from Fualaau: If Loving You Is Wrong. During her imprisonment, Letourneau was allowed visits from her children but was denied permission to attend her father's funeral. While in prison Letourneau tutored fellow inmates, created audio books for blind readers, participated in the prison choir and "rarely missed Mass." Because of her notoriety, Letourneau was unpopular with other inmates, "sassed guards and balked at work" and, reportedly as punishment for this, spent "18 of her first 24 months" in solitary confinement. In another instance, Letourneau endured six months in solitary when letters she tried to send to Fualaau were intercepted.
In 2002, Fualaau's family sued the Highline School District and the city of Des Moines, Washington, for emotional suffering, lost wages, and the costs of rearing his two children, claiming the school and the Des Moines Police Department had failed to protect him from Letourneau. Following a ten-week trial, no damages were awarded. Attorney Anne Bremner represented the Des Moines Police Department. Lawyer Michael Patterson represented the Highline School District.
Letourneau was released to a community placement program on August 4, 2004, and registered the following day with the King County Sheriff's Office as a Level 2 sex offender.
Release from prison and marriage to Fualaau
After Letourneau's release from prison in 2004, Fualaau, then age 21, persuaded the court to reverse the no-contact order against Letourneau. Letourneau and Fualaau were married on May 20, 2005, in the city of Woodinville, Washington, in a ceremony at the Columbia Winery. Exclusive access to the wedding was given to the television show Entertainment Tonight, and photographs were released through other media outlets. Letourneau said she planned to have another child and return to the teaching profession and indicated that by law she was permitted to teach at private schools and community colleges.
Letourneau and her husband were the DJ and hosts for three "Hot for Teacher Night" promotions at a Seattle night club. During an Inside Edition interview, Fualaau said, "I'm not a victim. I'm not ashamed of being a father. I'm not ashamed of being in love with Mary Kay." Attorney Anne Bremner, who met Letourneau in 2002 during Fualaau's civil suit, said that Letourneau considered her relationship with Fualaau to be "eternal and endless". According to Bremner, "Nothing could have kept the two of them apart."
On May 9, 2017, after almost 12 years of marriage, Fualaau filed for separation from Letourneau, but later withdrew the filing.
