Rebecca Joynes Arrest Details

Rebecca Joynes Jailed. “A young teacher who had sex with two teenage schoolboys has been jailed for six-and-a-half years. Rebecca Joynes, 30, groomed the youngsters from the age of 15, and was on bail for sexual activity with the first child, Boy A, when she began having sex with the second, Boy B, who she went on to become pregnant by. Neither boy can be identified.” [Guernsey Press]

Joynes Arrest Caught On Police Video. “In the arrest footage, the pair from Greater Manchester Police arrive at Joynes’ home and the male officer says: “Hi, we’re looking for Rebecca.” To which Joynes replies, ‘Yeah that’s me.” The officers then follow Joynes into her living area, with her kitchen to one side and a dining table to the other. A dog can also be heard whimpering in the background. As she stands in the middle of the room with a sofa behind her the male officer says: “I’m not sure if you know what’s going on, but my colleague has just got something she needs to say to you.”” [Mirror]

Joynes Had Child With Student. “In a victim impact statement, Boy B, who fathered Joynes’ child, said: “I struggled to come to terms with my abuse, I was completely in denial.” He said he felt he had “betrayed someone I love and done wrong by giving evidence” but had since realised “the full extent” of the abuse and “tactics used”. He said he was “coerced, controlled, manipulated, sexually abused, and mentally abused”, adding: “I will forever be Rebecca‘s victim and forever linked to her through our child.”” [BBC]

Judge Slammed Joynes’ “Arrogance.” “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.”” [PA Media]
