Revealed: Paedophile teacher who fled to France with schoolgirl, 15, is now married and working as a baker

A paedophile former teacher that was jailed for fleeing the country with a teenage student triggering an international manhunt is now working as a baker and has remarried. 

Jeremy Forrest, 40, spent three years in prison for abducting and having sex with a fifteen-year-old. He fled to France with the student in 2012, but was apprehended after eight days. 

The former music teacher is now working as a head baker at an artisan bakery and fronting a rock band. He has also remarried and goes by the name Jeremy Buonocore, according to a report in The Sun. 

Forrest was photographed leaving his new job in Kent wearing a baker’s outfit earlier this week. The Aberdeenshire-born ex-convict had worked as a chef during his time behind bars at Ashfield prison. 

Forrest has a brief biography on the bakery’s website, which does not mention his teaching career or time in prison, but says that he spent most of his working life at his family bakery.

Forrest was found guilty at Lewes Crown Court in Lewes, East Sussex, of abducting a 15-year-old girl who he took to France when their sexual affair was about to be exposed

A brief biography of Forrest on the website of the artisan bakery did not mention his time in prison and said that he had spent most of his working life in a ‘family bakery’

‘Jeremy moved to Kent, having lived in London previously, where he has spent most of his working life at his family bakery,’ the biography, which features a picture of him in the kitchen, reads.

‘He is proudly a 5th generation baker, learning everything he knows from the experienced bakers that have passed down their tried and tested methods.’

Forrest was promoted to head baker in May 2022 as a result of his ‘extraordinary passion for sourdough, hard work and commitment.’

‘He never stops learning about the process, care and attention that goes into making the perfect loaf.’

‘Jeremy loves his dogs and a sing-song – he plays guitar and lead vocals in a band that regularly does gigs!’

Forrest has added to the collection of tattoos on his arms and hands, and is fronting a rock band by night according to the biography on the bakery website

Forrest was arrested after being been recognised by a barman in Bordeaux to whom he had handed his CV with a photograph on

Forrest abandoned his then wife when he fled to France with a student, sparking an international manhunt until they were apprehended eight days later.

Forrest was arrested after being been recognised by a barman in Bordeaux to whom he had handed his CV with a photograph on.

He was convicted at Lewes Crown Court of child abduction and given counts of sexual activity with a child. He signed the sex offenders register for life.

The Sun claimed that he now lived in a £500,000 three-bed home in Kent.
