It was a court case that gripped the nation. Evidence and dramatic testimony was read by hundreds of thousands of people as teacher Rebecca Joynes went on trial at Manchester Crown Court accused of having sex with two pupils she taught at a Greater Manchester school.
During a session in which whiteboards were being used, the teenager asked Joynes for her number. As ‘part of a game’, she gave him nine digits. He figured out the last two and rang her phone - while still in class. She simply laughed and ignored it. “Am I coming later or no,?” he asked. “You better had come now you told me you are,” she said. Later, joking about another pupil joining them, the boy said: “I had better be the only one.”
Joynes had parked further down the road and told Boy A to lie back so he wouldn’t be spotted. He later told officers he didn’t know what was going to happen, adding: “But anyone in my position, when you are my age, my year. If you ever see her – she is good looking.” “She just said ‘pick something’,” he said. She leant on the cash desk, laughing with the boy as he scrolled on his phone. Using her credit card she paid for the belt, worth £345.They went back to her flat in Salford Quays. Boy A said he felt ‘a bit weird’ about being there. Once inside, he sat on the sofa as Joynes sat next to him.
He said they did not use protection and that he told Joynes: "I hope to God, you don't get pregnant." Joynes said she ' even know if she ' due to health issues. Boy A went on to tell his friend about the shopping trip and how they had gone back to her apartment and had sex. “That is grooming, mate,” his friend replied.
Meanwhile, she had befriended another boy. “I added her on Snapchat, but she declined me,” 15-year-old boy 'Boy B' said. “As a young lad I thought I was in there and then things progressed and I started asking if I could meet up with her,” he would go on to say. Joynes would go on to send him a picture of her bottom on Snapchat. He replied with a 'love heart eyes' emoji.
“It was mental warfare for me.” He said he loved Joynes, but said she would blackmail him every time he tried to leave her. They argued daily, with Joynes questioning him about deleting messages from his group chats.
