The girl, now 16, had originally promised to wait for Forrest, 31, who was caged for five-and-a-half years for abduction after they fled to France.
Dumped: Jailed Jeremy Forrest’s schoolgirl lover has left him for another teacher
The schoolgirl lover of jailed maths teacher Jeremy Forrest has dumped him – for another teacher.
She had promised to wait for Forrest, 31, when he was jailed for five-and-a-half years for abduction after they fled to France when she was just 15.
But now she has reportedly dumped him for a 20-year-old PE teaching assistant.
Disgraced Forrest and the girl triggered an international hunt after running away together.
The pair were finally found in Bordeaux in south-west France.
Forrest’s wife left him after the affair came to light.
The pair have tried to maintain contact while Forrest is behind bars but were banned by social services, who ruled they must wait until the girl is 18.
Last month Forrest vowed not to abandon her in an emotional letter from prison.
He claimed a ban on contacting the teenager breaches his human rights and believes he was moved to a prison 120 miles away as punishment for his feelings.
Forrest was transferred from Ashfield Prison in Bristol to HMP Dartmoor in Devon after receiving “caring” letters from the girl saying she wanted to rekindle their romance.
In a seven-page, handwritten letter to the Daily Express, Forrest claims the enforced separation is “torture” and the move to Dartmoor threatens to hinder his rehabilitation.
He wrote: “The reason why contact is so vital to us is because of the support and stability our relationship gives our lives.
“She is the most remarkable person I have ever met and the strength she continues to show is nothing short of amazing. I will not abandon her.”
In the letter, Forrest claims he only agreed to face sex charges on the condition he was allowed contact with the schoolgirl, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Despite the enforced ban, the girl, who is now 16, has sent three letters to Forrest.
But now it seems she has moved on from Forrest and last night the girl’s mum said she approved of the new boyfriend, saying: “He is really nice and we have welcomed him into our family and I am very happy for my daughter.”
