Did Disgraced Teacher Mary Letourneau Inspire 'May December?'
November 22, 2023
In a new Netflix film called "May December," actress Julianne Moore defends her marriage to a man 23 years younger than her. The story resembles disgraced school teacher Mary Kay Letourneau and her former 12-year-old student Vili Fualaau. Gregg Olsen, author of "If Loving You Is Wrong,” says the movie was clearly inspired by Letourneau. In real life, Letourneau was pregnant when she was sentenced in 1997 to prison for having sex with her sixth-grade student.
