A teacher has been found guilty of having s.e.x with two schoolboys. Rebecca Joynes, 30, groomed both boys from the age of 15, Manchester Crown Court was told.
Joynes was convicted of four counts of sexual activity with a child and two counts of sexual activity with another child, She was on bail for sexual activity with the first child, boy A, when she began s.e.x with the second, boy B, who she went on to become pregnant by.
Neither teen must be identified. Joynes closed her eyes and grimaced before beginning to shake as the guilty verdicts were returned by the jury foreman.
Her mother and father, sitting in the public gallery, made no reaction. But yards away the parents of the boys stifled cheers as Joynes was convicted.
Judge Kate Cornell warned Joynes: “There’s a baby in this case who has done nothing wrong and is entirely innocent of all wrongdoing, and you will obviously want to see her before the sentence is passed, I do understand that. But you must be under no illusion what’s going to happen on the fourth of July.
