Jeremy Forrest trial: Pupil tells of classroom kiss 12 June 2013 Last updated at 13:30 A schoolgirl allegedly abducted and taken to France by a teacher has told a court they first kissed in a classroom. The girl, who is now aged 16 and cannot be named, said she was 14 at the time of the kiss at Bishop Bell C of E School in Eastbourne, East Sussex. The jury was played video of a police interview where she said married Jeremy Forrest knew he could go to prison but told her "I really want to kiss you." Mr Forrest, 30, denies a charge of child abduction at Lewes Crown Court. The court was told in the days leading up to the kiss the pupil attended school early so she could meet up with him. Probably encouraged it She told the police interviewer: "I do remember being in his room and it was just me and him. He said 'I really want to kiss you' and I said 'I really want to'. He told me that he didn't want to take advantage of me, and I just didn't have a problem with it anyway. It was what I wanted to do because of how much I liked him. I didn't give it a second thought. Obviously, I was worried about it and I spoke to my friends about it. She added: "He knew he would go to prison, lose his job and not work with children again, so he was aware and that made me feel better. There was no naivety about it and it was what I wanted, and I probably encouraged it. We would bring it up and I would say 'yeah, I really want to'. During the interview the girl talked about the first time she stayed overnight at Mr Forrest's home but said nothing sexual took place. She told the officer she could not remember when they first had sex but said it happened "a few times" in hotels, and each time she would tell her mother she was staying with a friend. The girl added: "The lead-up was that, just like we had said, we wanted to take things further and it was a natural thing. We had doubts. He felt so guilty about it. We shouldn't have even been texting, let alone having a sexual relationship. The court also heard Mr Forrest stopped wearing his wedding ring, told the girl he and has wife had separated twice and he might introduce her to his parents. Lewes Crown Court has been told Mr Forrest fled to France with the pupil in September, when she was aged 15, spending seven days on the run.
