Jailed Teacher Talks About Marrying Boy

The former schoolteacher imprisoned for having sex with a 13-year-old boy told Oprah Winfrey on her TV show she believes her family as well as the boy’s would like them to marry. “I think that the families would like that,” Mary Kay Letourneau said in a telephone interview from a Washington state prison. Letourneau, 36, gave birth to the boy’s child last May. The child is in the custody of the mother of the boy, now 14. Letourneau began serving a 7 1/2-year prison term after pleading guilty to two counts of second-degree rape of a child and then violating the terms of a suspended sentence by meeting with the boy.
