UK teacher Rebecca Joynes jailed after having sex with schoolboys, having baby with one
- Joynes was already on police bail for sexual activity with one teen when she had sex with another boy and became pregnant.
A British teacher who had sex with two teenage students and had a baby with one of them was sentenced on Thursday to 6½ years in jail.
Rebecca Joynes, 30, was on police bail for sexual activity with one victim, identified as Boy A, when she began having sex with the second, Boy B, by whom she became pregnant.
Sentencing Joynes, a judge said she had been a “high achiever” who had thrown her career away and had her baby taken away from her through her own actions.
Joynes groomed the schoolboys from the age of 15, exchanging messages on social media before engaging in sexual activity, prosecutors told the court.
She was found guilty by a jury of six counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, including two while being in a position of trust. Neither of the boys can be identified by name.
Women can still be paedophiles. This term is not reserved only for men. Men and boys can still be victims of sexual abuse
Passing sentence at Manchester Crown Court in northwestern England, Judge Kate Cornell told the former teacher she had behaved with “breathtaking arrogance”.
