Vili Fualaau files for separation from former teacher Mary Kay Letourneau

SEATTLE -- Vili Fualaau, who married his former teacher, Mary Kay Letourneau, in May 2005, filed for separation this month, according to King County Superior Court in Washington State.

Letourneau was convicted of having sex with Fualaau, who was her student as a 12-year-old.

Letourneau’s story began in June 1996 when police discovered her and Fualaau in a minivan parked at a marina. Letourneau said the boy was 18. The two were taken to a police station and later released. Letourneau was a married 34-year-old mother of four.

Letourneau was pregnant in the fall of 1996 with Fualaau's child. Letourneau first met Fualaau when he was a student in her second-grade class at Shorewood Elementary School in Burien, Washington.

Unfortunately she was probably twisted from that upbringing

LeTourneau, 35, first met the student when he was a second-grader. Last year, he became a student in her sixth-grade class. She began having sex with him in June, she told the Seattle Times, saying that she felt bonded to him but that she "felt that one day he might marry my daughter."

For nearly 20 years, Schmitz exemplified Orange County firebrand conservatism after he was elected in 1964 to the state Senate. An activist in the right-wing John Birch Society, Schmitz eventually was asked to leave the group because of his outspokenness.

After serving two years in Congress, he changed parties in 1972 to run for president as the American Independent Party nominee against Richard Nixon. In 1978, he won a second state Senate seat, representing Newport Beach as a Republican.

Three years later, he was disciplined by the Senate and stripped of a committee chairmanship after issuing a press release critical of Jews, feminists and homosexuals. When he called attorney Gloria Allred a "slick, butch lawyeress," she won a $20,000 lawsuit against him and a public apology.
