Moment Predator female teacher is arrested for having sex with two teenage schoolboys and getting pregnant for one of them (video)

This is the moment a 30-year-old teacher was arrested for having sex with two teenage schoolboys.

A clip from police officer’s bodycam shows Rebecca Joynes in her Salford flat as she was arrested and cautioned. Joyne is heard asking the officers “Are you serious?”.

 

The teacher, 30, groomed her victims from the age of 15 and had a child with one of the teenagers, Manchester Crown Court heard.

She was found guilty of six offences of sexual activity with a child after a two-week trial at Manchester Crown Court and was jailed for six-and-a-half years today on Thursday, July 4.

Ms Joynes fell pregnant by one of the schoolboys and gave birth in early 2024.

Jurors heard Joynes joined their high school in 2018 as part of the Teach First recruitment scheme after studying for a sports and exercise science degree.

Parents of both boys watched as Joynes, wearing a gold necklace, black padded jacket, and with blonde highlights in her hair, visibly shook and cried as she was jailed.

In a victim impact statement, the teenager she had a child with has said he was previously “completely in denial” about the abuse.

The teenager, referred to as Boy B, said he felt like he had “betrayed someone I love” when he gave evidence against her.

He continued: “I questioned if I was right to give statements about the woman who was carrying my child, since then I have replayed a lot of things in my head, and spoken to a lot of people, and it has made me realise the full extent of the abuse carried out on me and the tactics that were used to do so.

“I was coerced, controlled, manipulated, sexually abused, and mentally abused.”

The boy, who says he left school with straight As, said the abuse “tore my family apart” as they struggled to come to terms with what had happened.

He continued: “I now also really struggle with the idea of going into another relationship, due to the negative experience I have gone through with Rebecca.

“Ultimately, I will forever be Rebecca’s victim and forever linked to her through our child.”

Passing sentence, Judge Kate Cornell told Joynes: “There is a breathtaking arrogance in your conduct.

“You were the adult.

“You were the person in control, the person who should have known better and entrusted by the school and the boys and by their parents of caring for their sons.

“Instead, you abused that position of trust and exploited the privileged role for your own sexual gratification.”

Joynes, a former childhood gymnast, had experienced a messy break-up after a nine-year relationship, struggled during the COVID pandemic, and was lonely when she became “flattered” by the attention of boys at the school, her trial heard.

Pupils would refer to Joynes as “Bunda [slang for bottom] Becky”, the court was told.

Both of the boys she had sex with sent her flirty messages on Snapchat and hid them from their parents.

Joynes was already on police bail for sexual activity with the first teenager, referred to as boy A, and suspended from her job when she began having sex with the second teenager, boy B.

She told the jury she had ruined her “dream job” with stupid “mistakes” by meeting up with the two teenagers and having them back at her flat.

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.

However, she was found guilty of six counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, including two while being a person in a position of trust, by a jury in May following a trial.

Following her conviction, Jane Wilson, senior Crown Prosecution Service prosecutor described Joynes as a “sexual predator”.
