What's the thoughts on this case? Should she still be in jail, should she never have gone, was she let off too easily or punished too harshly. I suppose as a guy, I have a hard time imagining Vili Falau as a "victim" and I personally think while what she did was immoral, he was probably not scarred for life because of it. Any views?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

While I'm not so sure about the second sentence. I agree with the first. She has paid her debt. He's an adult now and he still wants to be with her. Maybe their love is real. I think that she shouldn't have had any inapropriate contact with him until he was of legal age, but what's done is done. She's been punished enough. Leave them be.

Whatever horrible judgment and utter lack of self-control she may have evinced seven years ago, I was, frankly, surprised that the judge issued a pre-emptory restraining order upon her release. My acquaintances in the judicial system all agreed that the judge, while acting within his authority, had no real ethical or punitive grounds to issue the order. I'm relieved - from a rights standpoint - that it was rescinded.

I think she is repulsive and her behavior was evil. She used a child - just because a 12 year old male can perform sexually doesn't mean he is able to handle it emotionally. She did scar him - he is the parent of two children who will be teenagers before he makes it out of his twenties. The case received so much attention that he has been forever marked in his community. My understanding is that he has never completed therapy - and I would hazard a guess that it is because therapy brings up anger at Mary Kay that he doesn't know how to resolve... I have never really understood why people debated whether or not the boy was a victim or not - if it was a 12 year old girl we wouldn't have questioned it and boys at that age, while more sexually aggressive, are at least as emotionally immature as girls. I've known girls who have loved their abusers too...doesn't change the fact that they were abused...

I don't really have much of an opinion, one way or the other, unless she makes millions of dollars off of a book. If she makes lots of money off of that book, I wouldn't be averse to her going back to Purdy.
