Mary Kay Letourneau’s Scandalous Affair with Her Student: A Shocking Story
When asked if her children knew about her situation while she was in prison, she explained that she had told them their mother was away and now their parents were back together. She described the situation to her oldest child as mommy being in a time-out.
Her four oldest children visited her from Alaska four times a year, with her wife driving Audrey and Georgia to see her twice a month.
On Larry King Live, Letourneau mentioned her close relationship with her children and her efforts to help them grow healthily through the situation. She acknowledged being sensitive to their developmental levels and only answering questions from her younger children through their father for now.
Letourneau expressed that she didn’t see her life as tumultuous, but rather as blessed. She highlighted her health, her children’s health, her supportive family, and her husband, Vili. She noted that she could not leave Washington without permission at that time and could not teach in the public school system.
