Teacher Jeremy Forrest plans to marry the schoolgirl he abducted, and her father said he would be "proud" to walk her down the aisle, according to reports today.
Peter Saunders, chief executive of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood, said Jeremy Forrest had been handed a "serious sentence".
That's definitely saying to anybody who is put into a unique position of trust with a child that you don't cross that boundary under any circumstances.
He took advantage. No matter what people say, a 14-year-old child does not have the emotional maturity to embark on a relationship like this.
This was a 30-plus qualified teacher who took advantage of the attractions of a younger girl ... He went there and he is paying the price, and quite rightly too.
Jeremy Forrest has been jailed for five and a half years on five charges of sexual activity with a child and one count of child abduction.
A teacher described in court as a paedophile turned to his victim today and said "I love you", as he was found guilty of child abduction.
