[Her father] intended to run for the U.S. Senate in 1982, but his political career was permanently damaged that year when it was revealed that he had fathered two children out of wedlock during an extramarital affair with a female former student at Santa Ana College, where he had taught political science.

Guess it runs in the family.

According to People in May 2020, an unnamed source "close to Fualaau" said that “he sees things clearly now, and he realizes that this wasn't a healthy relationship, from the start."

Understatement of the year.

The new Netflix movie "May December" staring Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman is based on this story. I just watched it, it's weird.

"Good weird" like Mulholland Drive or " just weird" like local commercials?

Mulholland Drive is bad weird for me so to each their own I guess.

Normalize arresting female predators 👏

She was arrested and served 7.5 years in prison.

She single handedly made female child molestation popular. Look how many women are in the news molesting now.
