Barbara Walter's minimizes child rape

[Moonglow]

What happened to the good old days when people with a brain didn't tune into this nonsense? Oh it ended with the Millennial generation.

In the good ole days it was legal to marry teens....or have sex with them....Arkansas was at 15 for consent when I moved there....before the Women's Suffrage movement many states it was 9 or 10....

You were not alive during the Suffrage movement. The fact you Millennial idiots don't know that proves the point.

I'm not a millennial kid, I do have kids that were born during that period..

It wasn't RAPE rape.

It's gross, illegal and she went to prison for it.

Mary Kay LeTourneau went to prison for defying the court ordered isolation from Vili Faillau. The court was initially sympathetic to the intensity of the professed devotion the couple shared and was concerned for the well-being of their children. (Vili's mother saw no problem with the relationship and she looked forward to loving and caring for her grand-children.)

We know it's illegal, so are a lot of things, but please explain what it is you feel is "gross" about that relationship. I'm curious. Who, aside from Mary Kay, has been harmed by it? While it certainly is unusual romantic history is filled with examples of unusual love affairs.

court ordered, legally ordered to stay away from the child because she's a pedo.

court ordered, legally ordered to stay away from the child because she's a pedo.

If by "pedo" you mean pedophile, that term refers to one who is attracted to pre-pubescent children. Pre-pubescent means not yet capable of impregnating or being impregnated, a category which clearly excludes Vili Faillau. So to refer to this young man as a "child" is plainly misleading.

For his age, and probably owing to his genetic makeup, which I believe is Samoan or Polynesian, Vili Faillau was exceptionally well developed both physically and biologically. Comparing Vili to a female counterpart such as Traci Lords, who at age fourteen used a fake birth certificate to become a sexual performer -- and by age fifteen was a widely celebrated porn star, Vili Faillau is best described as an exceptional young man. Certainly not a "child."

Because of her obvious devotion and compelling tenacity it is obvious that Mary Kay LeTourneau was deeply in love with Vili, probably because of certain elements in her own exceptional emotional makeup. So it clearly is more correct and more appropriate to refer to that relationship as a highly unusual love affair rather than to casually dismiss it as an act of sexual perversion.

I mean she broke the law, she also abused her authority and betrayed parental trust and she molested that boy. The boy himself said he wasn't ready for her love or that relationship. I don't really care what he justifications are for violating him.
