A judge in Seattle agreed to lift an order barring Mary Kay Letourneau from contacting Vili Fualaau, the former sixth-grade student she was convicted of having sex with when he was a minor. Letourneau was released from prison Wednesday.
Fualaau, now 21, had challenged the court order, saying he is an adult and can pick his own friends, especially the mother of his two children.
Letourneau was a 34-year-old elementary school teacher in suburban Des Moines and an unhappily married mother of four in 1996, when she began having sex with Fualaau. She was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison.
