SEATTLE — A 16-year-old boy whose notorious affair with his teacher produced two children and put her behind bars will seek damages of up to $1 million from local officials for not protecting him, the Seattle Times said in its Friday edition.

Vili Fualaau, who first impregnated Mary Kay Letourneau, now 38, in 1996 when he was 13, filed claims against the city of Des Moines, Washington, and the local school district for emotional suffering, lost income and the cost of raising his two children, now in the custody of his mother.
The pair had previously professed passionate love for each other in a book they co-wrote, Only One Crime, Love, and served as the subject of a made-for-television movie.
Fualaau claims authorities could have stopped the relationship, saying police failed to inform his mother or other agencies that they found the pair one night in a sleeping bag in the back of Letourneau's van parked at a marina.
Letourneau, married and the mother of four when she became pregnant with their first child, served a six-month jail sentence in 1997 after pleading guilty to second-degree child rape. Released on probation, she became pregnant by Fualaau a second time, drawing a seven-year jail term.
Ain't that sumtin ?
