Mary Kay & Vilo, a very strange relationship Options

[Im So Vain]

Okay I was watching Etertainment Tonight earlier, and all the buzz seemed to be about Mary Kay and Villi's wedding over the weekend. To summarize the reason why is because Mary Kay was Villo's sixth grade teacher, who is also 21 years older than him. (Can you imagine marrying your teacher?) But anyways To make a long story short when the boy was in middle school he would always come over to her house. Then one night Mary Kays husband chased him away. She found him while driving in a van. They made out and did whatever. Then were caught by the police. Prior to that Villi had made a $20 bet that he could sleep with her. The police the caught them that night and arrested Mary Kay who spent several years in prison.

So the debate is do you think the couple should be supported?

Finally, a topic a current events/pop culture worth discussion! You have brought up a very interesting question. I'm torn about that. The libertarian in me says (now) they are both consenting adults, let's keep the government, and everyone else, out of it, the Catholic part of me says they should be ashamed of themselves, particularly Mary Kay. You don't betray your husband, first of all, and you don't press a sexual urge with a minor, even if you are in love with him, secondly. I mean, she may not have liked the law (statutory rape=sex w/ a minor, consenting or no) but that was the law and she broke it. Besides, I don't know any children, particularly not 12 y.o.s who know what they want to do with their lives, realistically. Fine to be in love (her already being married aside) but wait for the right time, if it's meant to be, it'll be.
