Time.com lists the "Crimes of the Century, the top 25": "On the 75th anniversary of the Lindbergh kidnapping, TIME looks back at the notorious crimes of the past hundred years." Mary Letourneau's love affair with Vili Fualaau ranks as number 22, not quite as "notorious" as the Lindbergh Kidnapping, the Black Dahlia, Richard Speck, Tate Murders, Son of Sam, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, O.J. Simpson, the Unabomber, JonBenet Ramsey, Versace Killings, and a few others, but more "notorious" than Columbine and "The Scream" and myriads of other heinous crimes involving murder, mass murder, serial murder, violent rape, abduction, torture, mutilation, and cannibalism not included in the "top 25."

And this in a country in which, during the past 50 years to say nothing of the last century, almost a million people have been murdered, millions and millions of women and girls have been raped, and tens of millions of people have been the victims of not only rape and murder but aggravated assaults, shootings, stabbings, beatings, muggings, armed robberies, car-jackings, home invasions, etc. Approximately 90-95% of such crimes have been committed by stereotypical criminals, overwhelmingly young males in their teens and twenties.
