Jeremy Forest Expected Back In UK

A lawyer for the teacher arrested on suspicion of abducting Sussex schoolgirl Megan Stammers is expected to return to the UK later on Wednesday evening.

30-year-old Jeremy Forrest, from East Sussex, is understood to be at Bordeaux airport in the city where he was arrested last month on suspicion of child abduction.

A spokesman for his lawyers said: "I understand he will be leaving France some time today," the BBC have reported.

Mr Forrest and Megan, 15, took a ferry from Dover to Calais on 20 September.

Mr Forrest's pending extradition from France followed his arrest under a European Arrest Warrant.

The information which led to the pair being found came as a result of media coverage in France, and followed appeals from their families.

Mr Forrest is a maths teacher at Bishop Bell C of E School in Eastbourne, which Megan attends.

The teenager returned to her hometown on 29 September.
