Seattle - A former teacher, Mary Letourneau, whose affair with one of her former pupils caused a national scandal, was sent to prison for seven-and-a-half yesterday for seeing the boy again. Letourneau (36), who had a child with the boy, now aged 14, was declared in violation of her parole and ordered to return to prison to finish her full term. She showed no emotion in court but the boy's mother broke down in court weeping. Earlier this week Letourneau was caught violating a sworn pledge not to see the boy.
She was caught sitting in a car with the boy at 3 a.m. In the car was clothing for a man, woman and infant, along with her passport and $6,200 in cash, the court was told.
