King County Superior Court Judge Linda Lau, who in 1997 sentenced Mary K. Letourneau to 7-½ years in prison, yesterday lifted the lifetime no-contact order between Letourneau and the former student she was convicted of raping, Vili Fualaau.
"He's thrilled, he's excited, he's as happy as can be," said Scott Stewart, Fualaau's lawyer, explaining his client's reaction to Lau's ruling. "I can comfortably tell you he's ecstatic to have the order lifted.
Lau's two-paragraph order allows Letourneau, 42, to have "unrestricted contact" with Fualaau, now 21, clearing the way for the reunion both have apparently sought since Letourneau was released from prison on Wednesday.
In separate television interviews earlier this week, Fualaau said he still loved Letourneau, and Letourneau said she would be open to having more children with Fualaau. They have two daughters, ages 7 and 5; Letourneau has four children from a previous marriage.
Fualaau told NBC's Matt Lauer, "I want to see who she is and if she's still the same person that I fell in love with ... and I want to see if she feels the same way for me.
"If we're still in love," he said, "then we're going to get married."
He said he hopes to decide by the end of the month whether their relationship has a future.
A match made in heaven?
