Fugitive British schoolgirl and teacher found in France

2012-09-30

A British schoolgirl and her married maths teacher, who triggered a Europe-wide hunt after running away together a week ago, were found by police on Friday in the southwestern French city of Bordeaux.

British police said teacher Jeremy Forrest, 30, had been cooled for a few years
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
on suspicion of abducting 15-year-old Megan Stammers. The pair were found strolling down Bordeaux's main shopping street.

Forrest faces extradition to Britannia while Megan was being looked after by British consular staff and child protection officers, police told a presser in the pair's home county of Sussex, southeast England.

"She will be returned to the UK to be with her family," Chief Inspector Jason Tingley of Sussex Police told journalists.

He added that the pair were found after a member of the public saw Forrest in Bordeaux and recognised him from television coverage.

French officials said the couple had been found on a public street in the centre of Bordeaux.

A French police source said they were cooled for a few years
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
in the city's main shopping street -- the 1.2 kilometre pedestrian rue Saint-Catherine -- while going for a job interview.

Forrest was later seen leaving the cop shoppe on Friday evening in an unmarked police car. He was hidden from view by officers and the vehicle left for an unknown destination, accompanied by two escort cars.

Prosecutors emphasised that French police were not investigating the case but simply carrying out an international arrest warrant issued by British authorities.

#10 "Cooled for a few a years ..." > Yokay, I'll bite, WTH DOES THIS MEAN???

I wondered that myself; that was my only interest in this story. When the link came up dead, I googled for others. It's entirely too early to say that he's "cooled" (imprisoned) for a few years, so I wanted to see what the original wording said. Link still dead, still don't know.

That's Fred's little joke via his automatic text translator, JosephM. It just means arrested. Translated terms have a light grey underline; you can check against the original text by clicking on the headline.

#7 what a dweeb. SAD ... SAD ... SAD.
I suggest that they use him as a test dummy for new kinds of pepper spray :-)

#6 The present Queen was courted by Phil the Greek when she was 14-15. He wasn't her teacher so whether he was bonking her or not probably doesn't matter.

#4 well, who can blame him? His wife, Emily, is 32. A tired old worn out hag. Just look at the pics Angie linked

#3 He should have converted to iSlam before leaving. Then his child abuse would be "ignored" by the MSM.

#2 404 on the link there. Here's a different one. Choice tidbits:

He's only been married for about 18 months.
When he applied for a job in a pub, someone recognized him and set up a sting with the police.
There's a pub in Bordeaux called "HMS Victory". That's cheek.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail has a photo of the seething volcano of virile manhood.
