Joynes

As well as her prison sentence Joynes has been made subject to a restraining order against the boys and she will be forced to sign the Sex Offender's Register for life.

Boy B claimed they did have sex while he was still a schoolboy and the court heard how Joynes reportedly told him she would “harm herself or kill herself” if he left her.

In another exchange, Boy A said: “Are you asleep?”, and Joynes replied: “Nope.

Joynes' barrister Michael O'Brien made a desperate plea to the judge to think of the disgraced teacher's child before passing sentence.

Joynes gave evidence multiple times in her trial and sometimes arrived in court with a stern look.

Joynes maintained sex with boy B only began after he turned 16, had left school and she was dismissed from her high school job.

Joynes said she had a “breakdown” after she was suspended from her job following the police investigation into her relationship with Boy A, and moved back to her parents’ home on the Wirral.

Joynes was entrusted with the responsibility of teaching and safeguarding children.

Joynes will be sentenced in July.

Manchester Crown Court earlier today, Judge Kate Cornell said Joynes had shown 'breathtaking arrogance' and an ‘unwilling inability to face up to wrongdoing’.

Ms Joynes denies six counts of sexual activity with a child, and is on trial at Manchester Crown Court.

Ms Joynes said Boy A continuously asked for her number, and during a lesson she gave him nine digits of it, and he later guessed the last two.

Rebecca Joynes, 30, denies six sex offences involving two teenage boys.

She said that although later stages of Boy B's relationship with Joynes was not illegal, it would not have occurred had the 'initially illegal' relationship not began when he was 15.
