Letourneau served seven years in prison for second-degree rape of a child and was released in 2004.
She grabbed more tabloid headlines after she and her victim married less than a year after she was released from prison, when Fualaau was 21 years old.
The couple had two children together - one born while Letourneau was awaiting sentencing and another while she was in prison.
They divorced in August 2019 after 14 years of marriage.
