A teacher accused of having a young teenager’s baby while on bail for having sex with another, hosted the lad at her flat “at least 30 times”, a jury has heard.
Rebecca Joynes, 30, is currently on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of six counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, including two while being a person in a position of trust. She denies the allegations.
The frequent alleged visits to the flat came after Joynes sent him ‘pictures of her body’ on Snapchat, the court heard.
Jurors previously heard Ms Joynes allegedly groomed one boy with a Trafford Centre shopping trip, before having sex with him, M.E.N reported.

She then fell pregnant by another teenager, jurors have been told. On Thursday afternoon (May 9) jurors were shown a video interview of the second complainant, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
The prosecution previously said: “So remarkably and, in all honesty quite brazenly, this was all happening while Ms Joynes was on bail to this court. Of course she can’t deny that sexual relationship because she became pregnant with (Boy B’s) child and she had (Boy B’s) child. Instead this time she claims the sexual activity didn’t start until he was over 16 and she had been finally dismissed from the school.”
He told police he added Ms Joynes on Snapchat after she was arrested for allegations relating to the first complainant, ‘Boy A’. ‘Boy B’ said Ms Joynes added him back, before he messaged her along the lines of: “If the police have your phone, change my name.”
He said the conversation remained friendly, that Ms Joynes was ‘nice’ and that spoke everyday. He said didn’t say anything ‘flirty or sexual’ for a number of months until he started to ‘take the p***’.
“Then one day I was taking the p*** and said something along the lines of ‘get your t**s out’,” the court heard. “She said ‘not tonight'”.
The teenager said he asked Ms Joynes again a few days later, before she sent him a picture of her bottom, the court heard.
Boy B said he asked to meet up with Ms Joynes, then later told his mum he was going to the Trafford Centre, but instead went to the defendant’s apartment.

“It was kind of awkward at first, obviously she was probably nervous because she didn’t want to get caught and I was nervous because I was meeting up with someone double my age and I’d known them for a number of years,” the court heard.
“I sat on her couch and said something like ‘am I not ever going to get a kiss?’ and we just started kissing. And she said something like ‘I don’t know if I want to do it until after you’ve left school or turn 18’, or something along those lines.
“Then I started kissing her again and I just said to her ‘you want to go into the bedroom?’ and I had sex with her. That was the first time and since then there have been numerous times.”
He later added: “I went round to the apartment at least 30 times. I would find an excuse and I would just go round for a bit.”
Boy B said he knew of the allegations made by Boy A, but said Ms Joynes ‘didn’t want to talk about it’.
Ms Joynes, of Pensby Road, Wirral, denies 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 a person in a position of trust.
The trial continues.
