If he has any sense at all, he will come back to UK and face the music. The longer this goes on the more likely it seems to me that he is a total coward.Press speculation is already starting to suggest that he might not be very stable and could do something incredibly stupid. The whole story has not been told yet, this flit to France was a reactionary move as the authorities were closing in on them.

Coward, maybe.. but then he's just an ordinary joe who's messed up big time...
Public vilification, fuelled by the tabloid press, and the pomposity of his peers must leave him not knowing which way to turn....
He gets even more of my sympathy...

On that Annon we must disagree, he gets absolutely none of my sympathy. He should be the responsible adult. If he really believed that he had feelings for this girl would the best thing not have been to tell his wife, resign his post and wait until she was of a legal age to give consent. Running away is going to solve nothing but will definitely make things worse for so many others.

For my tuppenorth? My 15 year old daughter has the body of a 20 year old - and is constantly trying to look older than she is. We DON'T do sleepovers on school nights (apart from once when I was in the UK and Mr K got called to work) - and even then confirmed with the other parents and dropped them off with strict instructions for decent bedtimes. I'm aware that "older" men look at my daughter in a "sexual" way (she didn't get her chest from me!) and if I thought there was any danger of any inappropriate behaviour, I'd have a word (in fact I did once to a 19 year old when she was 14!). Having said that, I was a 15 year old once (honest), and in "love" with a 22 year old. As has been said previously, if she was 20 and he was 35 no one would bat an eyelid. My niece has been in a relationship for 10 years with a man who is now 48 and she's 26 - so work that one out. It caused all sorts of rifts in the family when it came out (long story) but as I said it HAS been 10 years now, and they are living together quite happily - so who can tell what the future will hold. Yes, the teacher's been a bit of a tit - but who can honestly stick their hand up and say that they wouldn't sacrifice everything for their one "true" love? Ramblings over for now......... but if they don't want to be found, I don't think they will for a while.

I'm grateful for kattie's post, particularly the hint that some of us at least might want them to 'get away with it'. But that can't be...
So put the girl on the next ferry home then run boy, run. Wait for the heat to die down then turn yourself in. You might then get a fair hearing, and any mitigating circumstances taken into account. There's no chance of that at the moment...
Good luck!

There are no mitigating circumstances if he is having sex with an underage girl.

Let's let others decide that, tinkerbell, when all the facts are known...
