Joynes is on trial at Manchester Crown Court, and today Boy A denied claims he “made up” the allegations against Joynes because she had rejected his advances.
It is the third day in a row that he has gone to court with a baby hat tucked into the waistband of his pants.
Boy A, who was allegedly “groomed” by his maths teacher, told his mother that claims the pair had sex were “just a stupid conversation” in a group chat that “got out of control,” the court heard.
In a video interrogation, Katy Appleton, defending herself, asked the teenager: “Were you worried about what your friends would say if they found out she had rejected you?”
“Did not answer.
Appleton, who suggested the boy’s claims about Joynes had raised his “status” at school, asked him if he had felt “embarrassed” and “angry” that Joynes had “rejected” him, which he also denied.
He then asked: ‘Did you feel like you became more important or more popular as a result of what you say happened between you and Rebecca Joynes?’
“No,” answered the boy.
The court previously heard how the boy had attended remedial maths lessons with Joynes and admitted he had joked with friends and his mother that she was “fit”.

Joynes is on trial charged with six counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, including two while in a position of trust.
Under further questioning from Ms Appleton, the boy agreed that he had gone to Joyne’s apartment because he “wanted something sexual to happen between them”.
But he denied asking her how many people she had slept with, and Joynes responded by saying “probably not as many as you.”
The boy is alleged to have then said: “Then not many, three.”
Ms Appleton asked the boy if he had felt “embarrassed” for lying about having sex with Joynes after she had “reluctantly” allowed him to spend the night in her flat while he slept on the sofa.
But the boy denied it.
Joynes is pictured arriving at court with her father, right, yesterday.
She is alleged to have “brazenly” continued the relationship while on bail awaiting trial in relation to Boy A.
Appleton said the defense maintains that “at no time” did Joynes engage in sexual activity with the boy.
The boy’s friend, the court heard, had initially covered for him by telling him he would stay with him.
But she later became worried and asked her mother to take them to pick up the boy from Joynes’ apartment.
He told the boy that Joynes had “groomed” him, but he replied, “No, I haven’t. I loved it.”
The friend’s mother then called the boy’s “hysterical” mother to tell her what happened and she contacted the school.
The police were also informed, although the boy initially told his mother that it was “just a stupid conversation” in a group chat that had “got out of control.”
Police launched an investigation in October 2021 and Joynes was subsequently charged with Child A and suspended by her school.

Joynes was released on bail and told not to contact any children under 18.
She appeared in court and was released on bail on the condition that she not contact any children under 18, but the prosecution claimed that it later emerged that she had been in a long-term sexual relationship with a second. student, Boy B.
It is alleged that she “brazenly” continued the relationship while on bail awaiting trial in relation to Boy A and had sex with Boy B around 30 times and became pregnant and had their child.
Joynes is alleged to have had sex with the 16-year-old, known as Boy B, “at least 30 times” in her apartment after they began messaging each other on Snapchat.
In a video interview he gave to police, he said he knew Joynes had been suspended from her school after she was arrested by another boy, Boy A, in October 2021 and that her bail conditions stated that she should not contact any child under 18 years of age.
He said his initial conversations with Joynes were “not flirtatious or sexual.”
But he sent her a message saying ‘get your t*** out’, or something like that, and she replied: ‘Not tonight.’
“Then I thought, ‘Oh, sure, he will,'” he said.
He said Joynes had later sent him a photo of her butt in just a pair of panties.
“When I was 16, I thought I was there,” he said.
He said their relationship progressed and he asked if they could meet and Joynes invited him to her flat in Salford.
“I went to her house and it was pretty awkward at first because she didn’t want to be found out and I was nervous because I was going to meet someone twice my age and I’ve known him for years,” he said.
He said when he arrived at the apartment he asked Joynes: “You won’t even kiss me.”
They had kissed, but Joynes had told him she didn’t know if they should do it “before you leave school.”
But they continued kissing before going to her room and having sex, she said.
He said it was the first time they had sex, but they had sex at least 30 times in “numerous different places.”
The boy said he knew Joynes had been arrested and released on bail on allegations related to Boy A, who sat next to him in class.
He said he “didn’t believe” Joynes would meet him because she had been arrested, but they had started meeting around the time he was taking his GCSEs.
“I thought he liked me because he sent me pictures of his butt,” she said.
‘I asked her if I would progress, but she didn’t feel comfortable because I was still at school.
“But it happened anyway.”
He said Joynes had told him his bail conditions meant he could not contact any children under 18.
But one day she had just said “yes” when he asked her to meet up and she drove from her mother’s cafe in Wirral, where she was working at the time, to see him.
Joynes denies two counts of sexual activity with Child A, two counts of sexual activity with Child B and two counts of sexual activity with Child B while a person in a position of trust.
The trial, which is expected to last two weeks, continues.
