A video surfaced Wednesday showing HBO "Real Time" host Bill Maher condoning a sexual relationship between a 35-year-old female teacher and a 12-year-old male student that resulted in the woman getting pregnant twice before eventually being jailed.

The 1998 Maher video has gained major traction on social media after the HBO host took credit for the sudden fall of alt-right provocateur and Breitbart News editor Milo Yiannopoulos over his own comments about pedophilia. Yiannopoulos appeared on Maher's program last Friday.

In the 19-year-old clip, Maher was referring to the story of a woman named Mary Kay Letourneau who was impregnated twice by student Vili Fualaau, starting when he was 12.

"The teacher from Seattle is in jail because she is in love. That’s how I view it,” Maher said in the March 20, 1998, clip of his former ABC program, "Politically Incorrect."

Letourneau was arrested and served more than seven years in jail for statutory rape. She was released in 2004 and would go on to marry Fualaau the following year. The couple has two daughters in their late teens.
