A teacher has been jailed for five and a half years for abducting and having sex with a 15-year-old pupil he ran off with to France.
Jeremy Forrest, 30, was previously convicted of child abduction and has admitted five charges of having sex with a child.
Forrest, from Petts Wood, London, was sentenced at Lewes Crown Court.
The prosecution said he was a paedophile who groomed a vulnerable girl at the Eastbourne school.
Extradition proceedingsForrest gave no evidence in his defence during the eight-day trial.
After the pair were brought back from France, Forrest was not charged with sex offences for legal reasons linked to his extradition.
But he admitted those offences in court on Friday minutes after being charged with them.
During the hearing, the court heard statements from the mother of the teenager saying she felt like "the worst mother in the world".
She said: "Someone got my child and I never saw it coming or saw it while it was happening."
End Quote Ronald JaffaHe unfortunately fell in love and crossed the line"
Defence lawyer Ronald Jaffa said only a jail term was appropriate for the serious offences and he did not seek to excuse what happened but place them in context.
The court heard Forrest, a gifted teacher who gave vibrant and interesting classes, had been in an unhappy marriage and had sought medical help for depression.
Mr Jaffa said Forrest's caring attitude led to the girl to ask him for help with a number of issues and he later realised she had a crush on him.
And he said: "He unfortunately fell in love and crossed the line at a time when he was in a very low position and depressed."
