This is not necessary
Ew. I’m sorry, this is a gross opinion. In like every way. This is a guy who was raped as a child. Everyone told him how awesome it was, and no one treated him like a victim. He fathered children with his rapist when he was 13. He was so damaged from the experience and how everyone basically cheered him on for being…
Fun fact, the death penalty is actually more expensive: the cases are typically more complex, jury selection is more time-consuming and trials last longer, incarceration is more expensive (solitary confinement and higher security), and there are usually lots of taxpayer-funded appeals.
That said, I still cosign the…
I have to say I’m a bit disturbed by your characterization of them. Almost as if she’s a victim of her love for this guy, and he doesn’t ‘appreciate’ it or something. You frame it as though she’s just a lovelorn romantic... which may be how she thinks of herself. And if true, is what likely got her into trouble in the…
Of course their vibe is “normal”. For the kids, how they grew up is normal. For Fualaau, normal is marrying and remaining loyal to your rapist—the only relationship he’s ever had. Letourneau apparently finds conceiving children with other children normal. “Normal” is simply what you’re used to.
I’ve heard that the death penalty sentence actually costs way more, due to appeals and delays.
Very well put. Even the idea that a teacher is thinking about that with one of their students is stomach turning, to say the least.
“Normal” is irrelevant. Abuse can become very normal if you’re experiencing it for long enough, especially if you’ve been conditioned to believe it to be normal since childhood.
Grooming and Stockholm Syndrome is going here. We see with women who escape abusive cults; I can see it with this man.
Her kids with Vili are now 13+ themselves. Her children from her first marriage are adults who could see her if they wanted to. There is not “custody” battle in play. I can’t even fathom how “the teacher savior thing” can possibly ever involve raping your student. And are you seriously saying “he was abused by more…
I mean, sure they’re “normal”. What do you expect? But she raped him. That’s how their “normal” relationship started.
No, they are not a normal couple, in any way.
Yeah, and the guy who climbed into the shower with my then 8-year-old is a respected, wealthy, well-known father of two, totally “normal”!
I don’t think she saw him as someone “older” than he was. She saw prey, and she attacked. She is vile.
Dude. No.
“i am sexually attracted to children! lololol look at me!”
It seems he cheated on her and can't get over it? He wrote an article about their relationship and is now intellectualizing the whole thing in an attempt to make himself feel better. Which is fine if you do it in private, but not when you do it in a public setting and let pictures of your ex be posted.
What a self-absorbed tool. Glad she got away from this guy.
What an absolute douche this guy is. "I don't know about you, but I'm a sexual person" - oh, so you're basically saying the wifey wouldn't put out anymore? Way to throw her under the bus in a national publication. What exactly did YOU do to fix the problem?
