In June of 1996, 34-year-old teacher, Mary Kay Letourneau, began a forbidden affair with her 12-year-old student, Vili Fualaau. A media firestorm began when the illegal affair was brought to law enforcement’s attention. Surprisingly, the illicit relationship between the much older teacher and her 6th grade student wasn’t the biggest bomb shell. In this episode, Jami walks you through the entire scandalous story that shook the world and continued to do so for many years after.
