Teacher informed schoolboy ‘oh shut up’ when he stated he ‘wasn’t sufficiently old’

A teacher accused of having sex with two teens allegedly laughed and said “Oh shut up! ” when one told her: “I’m not old enough.”

Rebecca Joynes allegedly made a joke after picking a teenager up in her Audi and taking him back to her apartment where they had sex, Manchester Crown Court heard. The lad, known in court as Boy A, mentioned he was too young to drive, to which Joynes allegedly said: “Oh shut up! Stop saying that!”

Joynes, 30, is in the dock facing six counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, including two counts while being a person in a position of trust. The accusations involve two boys she met while working at a school in Greater Manchester. While on bail for the alleged sex with Boy A, she allegedly fell pregnant with another boy’s child.

Jurors were shown a video interview where Boy A told police Joynes had given him 10 out of 11 digits of her mobile number, leaving him to figure out the last one to get in touch. Soon after, they were communicating on Snapchat, and following a Friday school day, he was picked up in her white Audi A1 at a spot they’d agreed on earlier.

The boy was asked: “What were you wanting to happen?” To which he responded: “To be honest, I was not expecting that to happen, what happened. I didn’t expect anything.”

“What were you hoping to happen? ” the officer continues. The boy admitted: “I don’t know,” but then confessed: “But anyone in my position, when you are my age…If you ever see her she is good looking.”

The pair went on a trip to the Trafford Centre, but after that she invited him her her apartment, the court was told. He recalled: “I remember her saying you might as well come to her apartment, and I said, I may as well stay. She said, ‘OK. That works for me’. (During the drive) She said something about driving. I went, ‘I wouldn’t know because I’m not old enough,’ and she said, ‘Oh shut up’ laughing, said something like, ‘Stop saying that’ but laughing.”

The boy claims Joynes splashed out on a £345 Gucci belt for him before they allegedly headed to her Salford Quays flat where they allegedly had sex twice. However, whispers started to spread, leading to a police investigation. Joynes was suspended by her school and later told the police that no sexual activity had occurred.

She was then released on bail with the condition of having no unsupervised contact with anyone under 18. But it was later revealed that Joynes had been in a long-term sexual relationship with another teenage boy while she was suspended.

She became pregnant by a second teenage boy, boy B, while she was on bail for allegedly having sex with boy A, a jury has heard.

Joynes asserts that any sexual activity with Boy B did not commence until he was 16. Both boys are legally protected from public identification. Joynes refutes 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.

Later jurors heard from Boy A what he told police happened at Joynes’s flat when they went back after shopping at the Trafford Centre.

“I remember feeling it was a bit weird, in the moment going up the stairs,” he said.

Boy A said he sat on the edge of the bed and they started to kiss.

“She took her jacket off and took her stuff off. As she was getting undressed she said, ‘No one had better find out’,” he said.

The boy said they had oral sex.

He continued, “she said, ‘how do you want to do it then?’”, before Joynes got on all fours on the bed, the court heard.

Boy A continued: “Then after that I was like, turn over, and she turned over on her back on the bed. At the time I literally thought to myself this is weird, so I didn’t finish.”

Boy A said he took a shower and they remained in bed for a couple of hours before he suggested more sex.

Boy A said: “She was like, ‘I don’t mind. Whatever you want’.”

He said he told her, “I pray you don’t get pregnant”, to which Joynes allegedly replied, “I don’t know if I can be any more”.

He then fell asleep and left her flat the next day, after telling his mother he was staying at a friend’s house, the court heard.

The trial was adjourned until Thursday morning.
