(March 18) -- Mary Kay LeTourneau, who pled guilty to second-degree rape for having sex with a former student and bearing his child, is apparently pregnant again as she serves a 7 1/2 year term in prison for violating her probation.

Her lawyer, David Gehrke, said at a press conference that she became pregnant in February, just around the time she was caught talking with the boy in a car by Seattle police. Gehrke said the boy was aware of the new pregnancy, but also said he didn't know if the boy was the father of the second child.

LeTourneau already has one child by the boy, a 10-month-old daughter who is currently living with the boy's mother in Burien, Washington.

The former teacher, 36, has said that the two were in love though she admitted at her original sentencing that it was wrong to seduce the boy. She was originally given probation and counseling, but spared a prison term. However, after caught violating her probation, Judge Linda Lau sentenced LeTourneau to over seven years at the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor, Washington.

Gehrke and others maintain that LeTourneau is manic-depressive and requires mental health counseling.

Reports of her pregnancy were originally reported by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, which got the information from medical reports leaked by an unidentified employee at the prison where LeTourneau is being kept. Gehrke said he would not try and track down the source of the story, but that LeTourneau was upset that her condition was reported so early in the pregnancy.

"She would have preferred that the news not be released in the first trimester," he said.

It was not clear whether she would keep the child, but if she does, it would likely end up in the custody of the Department of Social and Health Services.

LeTourneau's husband Steve, who has filed for divorce and is living in Alaska with their four children, was aware of the new pregnancy.

"We weren't shocked, but we're certainly disappointed," his lawyer, Gregory Gahn, told the Seattle Times.
