Mary Kay Letourneau was released from jail this week after serving 7 years in jail for raping her former 12 year old student--with whom she has two children. The children live with his mother. Vili Fualaau is now 21 and petitioned the Court Monday to allow them to reunite. He says he still loves her. She is now registered as a sex offender. The Court today granted his request.

Even the prosecutors couldn't think of a reason to ban the two from meeting--and thus didn't argue against the request.

The order was part of her sentence in 1997. The prosecutor's office said the court took into consideration that the victim is now a legal adult, and determined there was no legal basis to prevent contact between the two of them.

It's the right decision. She did her time. They have two kids together. Let them decide if it's really love and they want to be together, or whether their relationship belongs in the past.
