"A shamed teacher who had sex with two teenage boys, and had a baby with one of them, has been sent behind bars for six-and-a-half years for her sex crimes today."
A young teacher who had sex with two teenage boys "showed breathtaking gall" after she fell pregnant by one while on bail, the judge who jailed her has said.
"Sexual predator" Rebecca Joynes had been given time after conviction to allow her to see her child, but was told she should be “under no illusion” about what to expect when sentenced.
She was found guilty by a jury at Manchester Crown Court in May of six sex offences following a two-week trial.
Joynes, 30, had groomed the pupils from the age of 15 and was already suspended from her high school job and on bail for sexual activity with Boy A, when she then began a sexual relationship with the second youngster, Boy B, whom she later became pregnant by.
"Joynes, 30, was already suspended from her high school job and on bail for alleged sexual activity with Boy A, 15, when she allegedly took the virginity of a second youngster, 16, who she later became pregnant by."
I think she was let off lightly. I bet a male teacher would have been treated harsher.
Disgusting paedophile. Should have got longer. Abused her trust as a teacher, abused the boys.😠
When the police went to arrest her, she couldn't believe it. She thought it was ok do what she did. 😲 Even had a baby, poor baby. 😒
She isn't very smart for a teacher is she?
"joynes denied any sexual activity with boy A ever took place and claimed that sexual activity with boy B only began after he had left school and she had been dismissed from her job, so no offence had been committed because she was no longer in a position of authority."
