Girl, 15, elopes with teacher

Monday, September 24, 2012

A 30-year-old man believed to have run away to France with a 15-year-old schoolgirl is one of her teachers, sources said last night.

Police have appealed to Jeremy Forrest or Megan Stammers to make contact after eloping across the English Channel.

There have been no reported sightings or contact since they vanished, and police last night were pursuing "critical lines of inquiry".

Police do not believe Megan is at risk but they are in contact with the French authorities in an effort to reunite her with relatives.
