I
think of all the education that I've missed
But
then my homework was never quite like this!
--Van
Halen, "Hot for Teacher"
Oh
teacher I need you like a little child
You
got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild
You
give me education in the lovesick blues
Help
me get straight come out and say
Teacher
I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need you

AS
SCHOOL BELLS RING throughout Multnomah County
and thousands of Portland students return to
school this year, several questions nag me:
How
do we prevent their teachers from having sex
with them?
Failing
that, how do we ensure that their sexual relationships
are healthy, safe, and satisfying?
And
even if they're none of these things, even if
the teacher winds up in prison and the student
comes down with an array of eating
disorders, why do so many of us find the subject
of teacher-student sex
so arousing?
These
are serious questions, and ones that bear more
sober scrutiny than perhaps your average strip-club
habitué is capable of mustering. God
forbid we should try to UNDERSTAND why our dicks
lead us around like dogs on chains.
WASHINGTON
STATE EX-TEACHER MARY KAY LETOURNEAU,
42, was recently released from a seven-year
prison bid that resulted from her ongoing sexual
relationship with Vili Fualaau, a former student
who is 21 years her junior.
The
case has slalomed in and out of the news for
nearly eight years, yielding a TV movie ("All-American
Girl"), a cable documentary ("Forbidden Desire"),
and a book ("If Loving You is Wrong"). Note
the naughtiness in each of these titles, their
steamy-sexy-oh!-la-la tone.
The
truth is that Americans are TURNED ON by the
Letourneau case, and that's why it's received
such huge attention. The major media don't dangle
anything before us which, despite how twisted
or sublimated or non-sexual it might seem, doesn't
stroke our deepest libidinal impulses.
"He
dominated me in the most masculine way that
any man, any leader, could do," Letourneau would
say of the cockroachy-looking Samoan-American
student who was only 13 when, as her 34-year-old
teacher, she first bedded him. Letourneau, who
at the time was married with four children,
eventually popped out two more saplings conceived
from what Fualaau estimates were three or four
hundred rounds of unprotected rutting.
Fualaau
first became Letourneau's student in 1989
as a second-grader. In the sixth grade, he
again found himself Letourneau's pupil. Letourneau,
by that time weary of a loveless, sexless
marriage, formed a romantic attachment to
her gangsta-stylee student. Even during summer
break, she'd constantly have him as a houseguest,
allowing him to smoke cigarettes indoors and
endlessly complimenting him to her husband.
This gradually grated on Steve Letourneau's
nerves. After one family blowup in the summer
of 1996, Vili ran out of the house to avoid
a confrontation with Steve. Mary Kay hopped
in her van and searched for Vili, tracking
him down at a local marina. He got in the
van. She started crying. They kissed. They
kissed harder. Harder.
Police
flashlights halted their passion. Cops initially
believed that Letourneau had kidnapped the
youngster, but she lied and said he was eighteen.
Only
days later, they fucked for the first time.
HOT
HOT HOT. Middle-aged white cuckold husband
shamed by THIRTEEN-year-old Samoan boy. Teacher's
out fucking her student while castrated hubby
sits home and takes care of the kids. Fucking
in her car and in her husband's bed and in
school closets. Thick brown Samoan boycock
pounding fertile teachercunt. She's getting
her first good dick in years--maybe ever.
He's gorging on her like she's a smorgasbord.
Little teacher's pet...petting her pussy.
She's teaching him, all right. Teaching him
all anyone ever really needs to know.
THEY
FUCKED ALL SUMMER and well into the winter.
In late February
of 1997, with Mary Kay visibly pregnant, Steve
Letourneau discovered that not only wasn't
the baby his, it had been fathered by his
wife's little pet, who'd been hammering her
for months. A day after Steve's discovery,
his cousin ratted out Mary Kay to a school-district
administrator. The next day, Mary Kay was
arrested and charged with statutory rape.
A law that only applies to male offenders
in other states such as California, statch-rape
is gender-neutral in Washington.
Three
months after her arrest, Mary Kay bore her
first child from Vili. In August of 1997,
she pled guilty to two counts of second-degree
child rape. She was forced to spend 80 days
in jail and forbidden from further contact
with Fualaau under threat of imprisonment
for up to eight years. Less than a month after
her release, police again found her behind
her van's steamed-up windows, caught in
flagrante delicto with Vili.
She couldn't stay away from that cock.
The
vehicle contained extra clothing and $6,200
in cash, leading authorities to believe the
pair intended to vamoose without a trace.
Letourneau appeared in court three days later,
looking disoriented and well-fucked. Her probation
was revoked, and she began a prison sentence
that only ended this August. In 1998, while
imprisoned, she bore her second child from
Vili, who cared for their two children while
living with his mother. Letourneau's husband
divorced her and moved with their kids to
Alaska. Mary Kay, the daughter of a right-wing
California congressman who'd been forced out
of public life when his extramarital affair
became publicized, found that most of her
own family members abandoned her, too.
She
was left with only a prison cell and her memories
of Vili.
And
the world continued to argue whether it was
love or rape.
Remember
when the magic started, but it still seemed
only safe to send our feelings through music
and movie themes? Do you remember when I knew
we needed each other each day, constantly,
when 'I love you' was disguised so we could
say it all day in front of everyone? All the
love songs seem to have been written for us.
--love
letter from Letourneau to Fualaau
MARY
KAY INSISTED IT WAS LOVE. She noted that
even Vili's mother pled with the judge for
lenience, believing that her son and Letourneau
were possibly in love. For the length of her
sentence, she professed undying affection
for Vili. Even when he said he'd lost feelings
for her, even when almost everyone in the
world was certain that he was out there fucking
teenaged girls while she sat in a cell, Mary
Kay never wavered in her conviction that theirs
had been a deep, mature, undying love that
would blossom again upon her release.
"I
would never regret my relationship with Vili
Fualaau," she told a reporter while in prison.
"I wish for everybody in life that they would
be blessed with such a mutually loving and
respectful relationship."
DID SHE RAPE HIM? Some would argue that
she operated like a classic predator, abusing
her power to ensnare a gullible victim through
sex.
There's
an undeniable double standard regarding gender
and adult-child relationships. If Letourneau
had been a man and Fualaau a young girl, there'd
be no grey area here, no question of whether
it was love, and certainly not the merest
murmur of whether the sex might have been
good.
But
is it POSSIBLE for most thirteen-year-old
boys, with their constant erections and twenty-four-hour
obsession with getting laid, to be raped?
When I was thirteen, my DREAM would have been
to be "raped" by a teacher...or even a goddamned
nun. In other cultures and at other times,
thirteen-year-olds are considered adults.
And since most "children" that age are able
to reproduce--young Vili knocked up Mary Kay
twice--nature apparently considers
them adults, too. Our culture suffers from
a delusion that thirteen-year-olds are unable
of willful acts, of being smart, wise, or
manipulative. And one doesn't dare MENTION
the fact that they're highly sexual, maybe
more so than any adult.
From
all accounts, Vili initiated sex between the
two of them. He'd even bet a fellow student
$20 that he'd be able to seduce Letourneau.
Much later, he pocketed thousands by telling
his story to a tabloid. And he unsuccessfully
tried suing the school district for his "victimization."
AT
FUALAAU'S REQUEST, a judge lifted a no-contact
order between the two shortly after Letourneau's
release. Since Vili is legally an adult, it's
impossible that Mary Kay can commit statutory
rape against him again. It's possible they'll
fall deeply in love again and silence those
who've cried rape all these years. Or, most
likely, they'll have some good sex and drift
apart.
I
predict that Fualaau will dump her, leaving
her emotionally shattered. Vili will be fine;
Mary Kay will be a wreck. And after a seven-year
prison stretch, the loss of her family, and
public humiliation, it will become clear who
the victim was in this case all along. That
student turned his teacher into a ruined whore.
That li'l boy with the hot brown cock left
her le-turned-out.
