In a 2007 interview with Playboy magazine, Bill Maher “defended the pedophilic relationship” between the school teacher Mary Kay Letourneau and her 12-year-old male student, Vili Fualaau. This teacher was imprisoned as a result of having a relationship with the 12-year-old boy. She got impregnated twice, on both occasions she bore two children from the boy. She was sent to prison in the late 1990s, came out in 2004.
The interview between Bill Maher and Playboy Magazine in 2007 can be read here. We have quoted the parts that are necessary for our readers:
Maher: Look, I’m a 51-year-old man, and I go out with girls in their early 20s. I’d be hypocritical if I said it’s ridiculous for a gay man to do that. I’m very libertarian about love. I’m the only guy I’ve ever heard who defends Mary Kay Letourneau.
Playboy: Are you saying teachers should be allowed to have sex with their 13-year-old students, as she did, and not go to jail?
Maher: I think it’s a little offbeat, but you know, I believe in the double standard. If a 28-year-old male teacher is screwing a 13-year-old girl, that’s a crime. But with Debra Lafave [another teacher who had sex with a student] screwing her 14-year-old boy student, the crime is that we didn’t get it on videotape. Was he being taken advantage of? I wish I had been taken advantage of like that. What a memory she gave him! I would think he’s a champion among his friends. Are you kidding? Even with Michael Jackson—-
Playboy: Are you defending him, too?
Maher: I’m not defending him, but I do believe his case has a nuance that makes it different from other child molestation cases–not that I’m saying he necessarily did it, but come on. Jackson’s worst accusers never said he did anything brutal, like bend them over a table and ram them–you know, like a priest. The worst they said he did was a little grabby-grabby under the covers. Don’t get me wrong. It’s a crime. You shouldn’t be able to grab a kid that age, but when I heard about it, all I could think of was my being brutally beaten up on the playground when I was 12–a kid punching me in the face while another held me down. If I could go back and trade that experience for being gently masturbated by a pop star, I would do it in a New York second. Frankie Valli could jerk me off. Bobby Sherman could. Marvin Gaye could.

One would think this is the only time he has made such comments. This is not the only time he has made such remarks. In a show that was aired on the 28th March 1998, the episode of his ABC talk show, “Politically Incorrect”, Bill Maher shows similar “support of Letourneau raping” the boy. Here is the full transcript if viewers want to read it or you can skip this and go straight down to watch the video for yourself:
Bill Maher:
“Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher from Seattle, who is in jail because she is in love, that is how I view it.
I admit that it is unorthodox, she is 35, the boy is 14, he was younger when it started. … Have I Oh ok, hmm [laughter], she is pregnant again that was the story this week.”
“This is the second child by this boy, so basically they are having a family and they keeping the mother in jail because she won’t conform to what society feels should be the perfect American family.”
Kennedy [Advisor]:
“Yeahh, Yeahh, that is perfect.”
Celeste Greig [Activist]:
“Sickening! It is absolutely sickening.”
Bill Maher:
What is sickening?
Celeste Greig [Activist]:
“The woman who is over 20-years older, she raped this kid.”
Bil Maher:
“Raped? Come on!” [Laughter from the audience]
Celeste Greig [Activist]:
“She forced”.
Bill Maher:
“She forced? How do you know and how can you?”
Celeste Greig [Activist]:
“Well, How do you know she didn’t rape him?”
Bill Maher:
“How can a woman…” [interrupted]
Celeste Greig [Activist]:
“How do you know she didn’t seduce him?”
Bill Maher:
“How can a woman rape a man?”
Henry Rollins [Musician]:
“I think that an older woman can manipulate a young kid. And I don’t think it is really healthy. I don’t think it is healthy for a kid who is going to be 14, with two kids out in the world. I think that the, those children will grow up fairly damaged. I think that kid will grow up fairly damaged.”
Bil Maher:
So you’re on her side?
Henry Rollins [Musician]:
“Yeah!”
Bill Maher:
“Ok!” [Laughter from audience]
Cedric the Entertainer:
“Damn shame, Bill Maher. Damn Shame. I just wanted to say that. [Laughter from audience] That is something I wanted to say for a long time. It is a damn shame.”
Bill Maher:
“I see why they call you the entertainer.”
Kennedy [Advisor]:
“But if it was a 14-year-old girl, I mean…” [interrupted]
Bill Maher:
But it is not a 14-year-old girl. I am completely defending not the woman only, but the boy as well. …
Kennedy [advisor]:
“When you were 14, would you have been able to take care of two kids?”
Bill Maher:
“Oh, I would have been able to take care of her. [Laughter from audience]
Kennedy [advisor]:
“Seriously?”
Bill Maher:
So it is better that she is in jail? It is better that she is jail? That is the good thing for the kids?
Kennedy [advisor]:
“Do you think children have emotional capacity to raise other children? I mean like, we have enough problems in society as it is with men not being present in the family life. And also, a 14-year-old, is a 14-year-old really be able to understand what it takes to raise a child up and be like a father figure and a man?”
Bill Maher:
“In most of societies in human history 14-year-olds were fathers. [Here Maher nods his head]
Kennedy [Advisor]
“But we are not talking about other societies.”
Bill Maher:
“No, we are talking about our sick society.”
Kennedy [Advisor]:
“We are talking about…”
Bill Maher:
[interrupted] …we are a healthy society.”
Celeste Greig:
“That is exactly what it is, a sick society. Goes back to…”
Bill Maher:
“Why is it sick?
Celeste Greig:
“It goes back to … Government has taken over control of the families. The parents have no longer decision making anymore. So this is what is happening now.”
Bill Maher:
“But tell me you said it is rape. How does a woman rape a man because doesnt rape involve an erection?”
Kennedy [Advisor]
“What about statutory rape? Statury rape can be consensual. can be consensual. It is just that the reason it is rape because the woman is under 18-years of age. Like, and basically but she may have said, hey I am ready to have sex with you but the law says, ‘no you are not’, until you are 18-years-old. You are not allowed to have sex.”
Bill Maher:
“But how do you fake an erection? I don’t understand that.
Henry Rollins [Musician]:
“I don’t think that is an issue.”
Cedric the entertainer:
“Bill, Bill, come on the guy is 14, I mean he gets erection when doesnt want to a lot of times. You know. [Laughter from audience]… first time it is impeccable and that is the thing that you are come in here…”
Kennedy [Advisor]
“a 35-year-old woman should have more sense than an.. what did they have conjugal visits? How did she get pregnant in prison?”
Bill Maher:
“No, she was out for a while, she out on parole and obviously their love was so strong that they still wanted to see each other. I don’t understand why all of you who are so… [interruppted] define love? We could have, but we can’t, it is something that is between two people and these are the two people.”
Kennedy [Advisor]:
“But love can be defined atleast a little bit. Is a 14-year-old really capable of, of all the things, having two children and a family, and a deep relationship with a much older woman? Is he capable of processing all that? Were you be able to do that when you were 14?”
Henry Rollins [Musician]:
“Financing the kids well being, as he gets ready to hit 10th grade [Laughter from audience]… what?”
Bill Maher:
“Alright, as usual, the entire panel is wrong, I have to take a commercial.”

If the same standards suddenly applied to Milo were applied to Maher, every other celebrity and public figure in the media, many would end up unemployed. A lot of them defend and continue to defend Polanski, Cohn-Bendit, etc.
