Disgraced maths teacher Rebecca Joynes, 30, was convicted in April of six counts of sexual activity with children after sleeping with one pupil before falling pregnant by a second while on police bail. The boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, were 15 and 16 at the time.
Parents of both boys watched as Joynes, wearing a gold necklace, black padded jacket and with blonde highlights in her hair, visibly shook and broke down in tears as she was jailed at Manchester Crown Court.
Passing sentence, Judge Kate Cornell told the defendant: “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 wept as she was sentenced yesterday morning, following a two-week trial during which a jury heard she had cultivated relationships with the boys over flirty Snapchat messages. She had groomed them with attention and bought one, called Boy A, a £350 Gucci belt during a trip to the Trafford Centre.
