Rebecca Joynes is facing serious accusations of engaging in sexual activity with a child, as the court heard. The 30-year-old teacher allegedly laughed off one of the boys' concerns about his age, saying "Oh shut up!" when he mentioned not being old enough to drive. This incident supposedly took place as she was driving the 15-year-old, referred to as Boy A, to her flat in Manchester for a sexual encounter after picking him up from school.
Boy A stated that Joynes had given him all but one digit of her phone number and he had figured out the missing number in order to contact her. They began exchanging messages on Snapchat and soon after, she picked him up from a pre-arranged location in her white Audi A1 car after he had changed out of his school uniform. During his video interview with the police, Boy A shared that he had not been expecting anything to happen between them and when asked about his hopes, he responded, "I don't know." He also mentioned that Joynes was "good looking" and any boy his age would feel the same if they saw her.
The plan was for them to go to the Trafford Centre and then back to her flat, but Joynes suggested they go to her apartment instead. The boy agreed and she dropped off her dog at her parents' place in Wirral, informing the boy that they would be taking care of it for the night. However, he did not see the handover as Joynes parked in a different street, possibly because of his young appearance.
Boy A also recalled a conversation during the car ride where he mentioned not being old enough to drive and Joynes laughed it off, saying "Oh shut up" and "Stop saying that." After visiting the Trafford Centre, where Joynes apparently bought him an expensive designer belt, they went back to her flat in Salford Quays where they allegedly had sex twice.
Following this encounter, rumors started circulating and the police launched an investigation. Joynes was suspended from her school, although she denied any sexual activity had taken place. She was later released on bail with the condition that she had no unsupervised contact with anyone under 18. However, it was later discovered that she had been in a sexual relationship with another teenage boy during her suspension, who is also the father of her young daughter. Joynes maintains that their relationship did not turn sexual until the boy turned 16.
The trial is currently ongoing and the two boys involved cannot be identified by law. Joynes denies all charges against her, including two counts of sexual activity with Boy A, two counts of sexual activity with Boy B, and two counts of sexual activity with Boy B while being in a position of trust. This trial will continue for two weeks.
