But exploiting a rape victim for profit and publicity notches things up to the penultimate level of sleaziest.

So I would like to invite a scurvy little man by the name of Mike Morris to slither forward and come on down.

Maleficent Mike is the Seattle club owner who last week gave us "Hot for Teacher" night starring Mary K. Letourneau and her pre-teen rape victim, now-husband, Villi Fualaau.

Villi was the D.J.

His sex offender bride was the mini-skirted host.

Patrons could ogle the now 47-year-old Letourneau and pay $20 for a T-shirt with the couple's picture on it.

Sleaze-meister Mike justifies his antics by saying Mary K is just part of a love story and that all he offered was just part of some Saturday night fun.

Generally, I mail the "Schrammie" to whoever is named as a recipient.

But not in this case.

In this instance I will auction this particular "Schrammie" off to the highest bidder.

The proceeds will be donated to the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center.

So don't bother bowing Mike Morris.

You've already stooped low enough.
