A teacher who ran off with one of his students is believed to be in a relationship with a woman 15 years younger than him.
Jeremy Forrest, 42, was jailed in 2012 after leaving his wife to elope to France with a pupil, aged 15, from Eastbourne, East Sussex.
He was jailed for five-and-a-half years the following year for child abduction and five charges of sexual activity with a child.
Forrest was also placed on the sex offender register for life and ditched by his first wife, Emily, after the scandal unfolded.
He remarried after his release from prison, where he trained as a baker, and moved in with his second wife in Canterbury.
Now he is reportedly in a relationship with a 27-year-old he met at a bakery where he worked.
Forrest, who also goes by the name Jeremy Buonocore, has now left the marital home, The Sun reports.
He is believed to be living with his brother and sister-in-law in Sidcup, Kent.
A close source told The Sun he had fallen for the woman a few months ago and they had been keeping their romance secret because of ‘the fact he is married’.
One of Forrest’s co-workers revealed he had left his wife, saying: ‘He is divorcing. He’s met someone else.’
Forrest’s new partner reportedly did not know about his dark past when the two began dating.
He allegedly told her he was planning on getting a divorce.
Forrest was sacked from another bakery in 2023 when bosses discovered his past.
Meanwhile, the schoolgirl’s father said he would be ‘proud’ to walk her down the aisle.
The girl, who has written to Forrest’s parents to declare her love for their son, also said she intended to visit him in prison.
The pupil eventually moved on in 2013 and found a new boyfriend of a similar age.
