Rebecca Joynes, 30, admitted she had broken safeguarding rules as a teacher by being in contact with the boys on Snapchat and then having them at her flat in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester. She 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 boy, known as Boy B, 16, who she later became pregnant by. Neither teenager can be identified.
Joynes denies any sexual activity took place with Boy A, whose semen was recovered from her bedsheets and said that the relationship with Boy B only began after he had left school and she had lost her job as a teacher, so no legal offence was committed as she was no longer in a position of trust.
The defendant was cross-examined by prosecutor, Joe Allman, for a second day yesterday, as he pointed out “similarities” in both cases. He said both boys were 15 when she began taking each one into her flat and both had been communicating with her on Snapchat – where messages are deleted and not recoverable by police.
