Summary

In this week's episode, we have guest and friend of the pod, Shannon Dee host to take on the rather disturbing subject of Mary Kay Letourneau, the elementary school teacher who fell in love, and ended up marrying, her 6th grade male student in the 90s...they first met when he was in 2nd grade and started their "affair" in 6th grade. This was a media frenzy and one of the first of its kind, because the public had such a difficult time believe a woman and teacher could be this predatory. While many themes in this episode are shocking, it is also very heartbreaking and may be triggering to some. We'd like to offer a SA and rape trigger for the entire episode.
