Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakaaturia e te kaiako o mua a Mary Kay Letourneau me tana tahu kua riro nei hei ākonga, a Vili Fualaau, te āhua o to rātau pātahitanga ki te moepuku i a ia e 12 noa iho ona tau. I te ahiahi o to rātau huritau 10 o te marena, ka kōrero a Letourneau, 53, rāua ko Vili Fualaau, 31, mō te whakawakanga mo te tūkino, me tō rāua marenatanga i roto i tētahi uiuinga ki a Barbara Walters mō '20/20', ka rere i tēnei pō. Ko te tokorua, e rua ana tamahine taiohi, i tutaki i a Fualaau i tana akomanga tuarua i Seattle. I whakaakona ano ia e ia i te reanga tuaono i te tau 1996. I a ia e korero ana ki a Walters, i kii a Letourneau kua tiimata te noho tahi i a ia e awhina ana i a ia ki te whakawhanake i ona pukenga whakairoiro i taua tau kura, ana i te raumati, ka huri to raua hononga ki te taangata. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Ko Mary Kay Letourneau, ko Vili Fualaau, ko ā rāua tamahine tokorua, ko Audrey rāua ko Georgia, i noho ki te uiuinga ki a Barbara Walters i te ahiahi o te tau tekau o te marena o te tokorua. Te kōrero: Ka rere te uiuinga i te 20/20 i te Paraire - tata ki te 20 tau i muri i te mauheretanga o Letourneau mo te whanaungatanga ki tana akonga o mua. Ko ia tōna kaiako kura tuarima i te tīmatanga o tō rāua hononga. 'Ko te mea i tupu i te mutunga o te po, kaore i mutu me te kihi,' ka korerotia e Letourneau. I whakaaro hoki ahau ka pai, engari kaore i pai. I te pātai me pēhea te whakaaro o Letourneau - i taua wā he whaea marenatia ki ngā tamariki tokowhā - ki te pāhekoheko, ka whakahoki ia: 'I aroha nui ahau ki a ia, a i whakaaro ahau, "he aha e kore ai e taea e te kihi noa iho?"' Engari kaore i mutu i reira, a, i te mutunga o te raumati, kua hapu ia ki te tamaiti a te tamaiti. I etahi marama i muri mai, ka kitea e tana tahu tetahi reta aroha i tuhia e ia ki a Fualaau a ka whakapā atu ia ki nga pirihimana. I mauheretia ia, i whanau tana tamahine tuatahi i a ia e noho ana i te peera i te Mei 1997. Whai muri i te whakawakanga nui, i whiua ia ki te ono marama ki te whare herehere o te rohe - ahakoa e toru nga marama i whakamutua - a ka whakahaua kia kaua e whakapiri atu ki te tamaiti. Engari i muri i nga wiki i tona tukunga, i kitea ia e moe ana ki a ia i roto i tana motuka ka hapu ia ki to raua tamahine tuarua....
I kōrero a Letourneau rāua ko Vili Fualaau me ā rāua tamahine tokorua ki a Barbara Walters i roto i tētahi uiuinga 20/20 ka rere i te Paraire. I piri a Letourneau rāua ko Fualaau i a ia e āwhina ana i a ia ki tana mahi toi i a ia e kaiako ana i te tau ono i te tau 1996. I mea ia ka taea e ia te whakamutu i te kihi anake engari he nui ake te haere - a ka hapu ia i te 13 noa iho o ona tau. I mahi ia i etahi marama i te whare herehere, a ka hapu ia ki tana tamaiti tuarua i roto i nga wiki; ka tukuna ia ki te whare herehere mo nga tau e whitu. Engari kotahi tau i muri i tana tukunga i te tau 2004, ka marenatia raua, a kei te noho tahi tonu raua. I amuamu a Vili Fualaau kaore ia i te tautoko tika hei papa taitamariki mo nga kotiro tokorua me te taipitopito o tana hitori o te pouri.
