An English teacher is on trial this week in a Manchester (England) court on charges of having become pregnant by a teenager while being investigated for alleged sexual abuse of another minor.
Rebecca Joynes, 30, is accused of having “groomed” her alleged victim, known as “Boy A”. She allegedly bought a £345 Gucci designer belt for him and invited him to her old flat in Salford, Greater Manchester, where they allegedly had sex twice.
The case came to light when “boy A” revealed the situation to two friends, resulting in a police investigation. Rebecca, who taught mathematics, denies abusing the teenager and was released on bail on condition that she have no unsupervised contact with anyone under 18.
During the investigation, it was discovered that Rebecca also had a “long-term relationship” with another student, 15-year-old “Boy B”.
According to the prosecutor, “Boy B” confirmed that he maintained contact with Ms. Joynes while she was suspended and that he began a full sexual relationship with her after turning 16. The fact that she became pregnant was a surprise to him as she had been told that she could not get pregnant due to polycystic ovary syndrome.
The trial will continue over the next few days, and “boy B” described Rebecca as “very jealous and controlling” during their relationship.
