‘Paedophile’ teacher guilty of child abduction

“Paedophile” teacher Jeremy Forrest, who “groomed” a 15-year-old girl before taking her to France when he was about to be exposed, has been found guilty of child abduction.

A jury took less than two hours to convict Forrest following an eight-day trial at Lewes Crown Court.

The 30-year-old defendant, who remained stony-faced, turned to the girl and said: “I love you,” as the verdict was about to be announced.
