Jeremy Forrest agrees to be extradited to UK to be closer to Megan Stammers His Bordeaux lawyer Daniel Lalanne said: "We have discussed how he feels about being taken back to Britain and he will not contest it. This is primarily because going home will take him back closer to the person he loves. What these two people have been through is a story of intense love and passion. His only crime is to have fallen inlove with a 15-year-old, without any recourse to violence or manipulation. Of course he is devastated and only wants to be reunited with Megan. Forrest will appear before a court in Bordeaux on Tuesday, when formal extradition proceedings will be heard. The teacher has already admitted that he and Megan fled to France - where the age of sexual consent is 15 - to be in a country that would be 'more understanding' about their affair. And he confessed they had planned to 'lie low' in Bordeaux for another six months - when they could legally return to the UK as lovers. He was using the psyeudonym Jack Grant and had even begun applying for cash-in-hand bar jobs so he could not be tracked down by using his bank card. But after a Europe-wide manhunt, police acting on a tip-off found the couple 'hand-in-hand' in the city's busy rue Sainte-Catherine shopping street at 12.15pm on Friday. Lawyer Mr Lalanne added: "He is very upset that his love story has been brought to such a brutal end. He was arrested while trying to find a job in order to keep their love affair going in a country that would be a bit more understanding. Witnesses who saw Forrest during a brief court appearance last Friday said he looked like 'a broken man'. The pair were spotted on the ferry to France One said: "I think it had finally hit him that whatever fantasy of a romantic future with Megan he'd once held had finally evaporated. The pair had fled Britain on a cross-Channel ferry from Dover to Calais on September 20. They then dumped Forrest's black Ford Fiesta in Paris and took a train 400 miles to Bordeaux, arriving on September 21. The couple stayed in a string of cheap, back-street hotels in Bordeaux, where staff confirmed they shared a double bed. Megan's step-father Martin Stammer said the family was 'over the moon' that had now been found and flown home. He said: "I always had that belief that she was strong enough within herself to remain safe and well."
