Just a real gut-bustin list, tom!


Leykis has caused considerable controversy over the years by revealing on-air the names of such individuals as the following:

Major media outlets voluntarily withhold names like these due to their adherence to journalism ethics and standards while having no problem releasing names of alleged offenders, a policy Leykis disagrees with since he says he is "not a journalist". Leykis's point is that either both names of an alleged accuser and an alleged offender should be protected or both should be public.

He has an excellent point. And look at all the good he's done!

Vili Fualaau (born June 26, 1983), of Samoan-American descent became famous when at the age of 13 he repeatedly gave simple consent to sexual intercourse with his then-33-year-old teacher Mary Kay Letourneau. The two were arrested, and Letourneau was charged with statutory rape. The sexual encounters resulted in two daughters, prison for Letourneau, and a long-standing court order forbidding them from seeing each other.

In 2002, Fualaau's mother filed a civil suit against the Highline School District and the city of Des Moines, Washington for not protecting him from Letourneau. The suit was dismissed.

On August 6, 2004, Fualaau, who was 21 years old at the time, applied to the court to lift the no-contact order, which was granted. Vili Fualaau and Mary Kay Letourneau were married on May 20, 2005.

In the United States this rape generated predominantly negative publicity, with some notable exceptions, e.g. Robert Reich's comment "where were teachers like she [Mary Letourneau] when I went to school?". Reich was at that time the Secretary of Labor in President Clinton's administration.

Total waste of time.

Kenneth Pinyan (June 22, 1960 - July 2, 2005) was a Seattle, Washington resident who engaged in sexual activity with full-size stallions, of which some were videotaped and distributed informally under the name Mr Hands. His death at the age of 45 from accidental internal injury, in July 2005, received during a sex act being videotaped by a friend of his, was one of the most read stories in The Seattle Times for that year [1], and prompted the passing of a bill in Washington state prohibiting both sex with animals, and the videotaping of the same, some months later.

Generally speaking, if you're the kind of chap who has sex with animals, you do so in a non-public manner. Still, this law may discourage children from 'getting it on' with Mr. Ed, because nothing is cooler than obeying impossible to enforce laws.
