Mary Kay Letourneau, the former Washington State teacher who made headlines for her sexual relationship with a 12-year-old student, has died at the age of 58. According to her attorney, David Gehrke, Letourneau had been battling Stage 4 colon cancer for some time before her death on Monday, July 6. “It was expected but sad anyway,” Gehrke told KOMO-TV. “She was a good person.”
Letourneau’s death has spurred renewed interest in the case, which created a media frenzy in the mid-1990s. Her relationship with her 12 or 13 year old student, Vili Fualaau, and the subsequent trial is the subject of multiple documentaries and docuseries, many of which are available to stream online.
