A teacher has appeared in court via video link charged with abducting a teenage girl.

At Brighton Magistrates' Court Scots-born Forrest, who gave his address as Chislehurst Road, Petts Wood, south-east London, but who previously lived in Broyleside Cottages, Ringmer, spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address during a ten-minute hearing.

No bail application was made by his solicitor, Phil Smith.
