A TEACHER allegedly groomed one of her pupils with a Trafford Centre shopping trip before having sex with him then fell pregnant by another teenage pupil, a jury was told.
Rebecca Joynes, 30, denies six counts of having sexual activity with a child. The allegations concern two teenage boys who she met through her job as a teacher at a Greater Manchester school.
Manchester Crown Court heard that she took a 15-year-old boy to the Trafford Centre and bought him a £345 Gucci belt from Selfridges, before she brought him back to her apartment in Salford where they allegedly had sex.
She was later suspended from her post and was discovered to have fallen pregnant with a second boy, who she first met aged 15 when they allegedly kissed one another.
But prosecutors said that the relationship later turned sexual and that she became pregnant and went on to have the baby, despite Ms Joynes allegedly telling him it was 'almost impossible' for her to conceive due to a health issue.
He learned she was pregnant 'to his great shock' after she gave him a baby grow, the court heard. Ms Joynes denies all the charges and is standing trial.
