School teacher Rebecca Joynes, who “took her 16-year-old daughter’s virginity”, arrived at court with her father as she goes on trial for sexual offences.
The 30-year-old man is alleged to have had sex with the student, known as Boy B, at least 30 times after they began messaging on Snapchat.
Manchester Crown Court previously heard that the maths teacher “brazenly” continued the relationship while on bail and awaiting trial for “grooming” and having sex with another 15-year-old pupil, known as Boy A .
Joynes denies having had sexual activity with any of the teenagers, who cannot be identified for legal reasons.
On Friday, jurors were shown video interviews Boy B gave police after Joynes was arrested for a second time, in which he described losing his virginity to her at her luxury Manchester apartment.
Teacher Rebecca Joynes, who “took her 16-year-old daughter’s virginity”, arrived at Manchester Crown Court with her father as she goes on trial for sexual offences.
Joynes was pictured arriving at court this morning with her father. The 30-year-old man is alleged to have had sex with the student, known as Boy B, at least 30 times after they began messaging on Snapchat.
“It was obviously my first time, so I was nervous,” the young man said.
Afterwards, Joynes told the teenager, who feared he hadn’t performed very well, “it’s your first time, it was great.”
Boy B said he kept the affair a secret from his parents for 18 months, during which time the couple had unprotected sex dozens of times. He claimed Joynes insisted she had a condition which meant she was unlikely to become pregnant.
But on a “date night” the night before she was arrested for the second time, Joynes scattered rose petals around her flat and arranged a sexual game of “surprises” for the boy, the court was told.
The game involved an Ann Summers scratch card with sexual activities and hidden notes, which led to him discovering that she was expecting his baby.
“In the end it was a baby,” the boy said. ‘It said something like “Best Dad” (on it) and I was like, “What the fuck!”
‘She started crying and I started crying, because we were undecided whether to get rid of him or not.
‘That was probably the lowest point, we were irresponsible. It’s my fault. I also thought, “What the fuck am I going to do?”

‘I can’t hide a child. I had hidden the relationship from my parents for 18 months.
Recalling the moment to police, he said: ‘She was crying. She was like, “I don’t know if I can do this alone.”
Joynes, who was wearing a pink baby hat tucked into his pants in the dock, wiped away tears Friday as the witness added: “I’ve also thought about my son’s future. I also want the best for my son.”
In a statement read to the jury, Boy B’s father said his son’s relationship with the teacher had caused a “family breakdown” because his wife “wanted answers right away” while he wanted to wait for his son. told us.” in his own time’.
Boy B’s older brother was aware of the relationship but had been “stupid”, thought it was “funny” and did not tell his parents, the jury was told.
Boy B said he “loved” Joynes, but the relationship soured and she became jealous and controlling, even accusing him of cheating on her with other girls.
He said he finally realized the relationship was wrong and that he had “sacrificed 18 months for a pedophile.”
Boy B said, “I was like, ‘You’re a weirdo, you need help.’ “You’re a fool.”
“You should go find someone your age, you’re pretty pretty.”
‘I think he was playing a game with me. To be honest, he loved her and she said she loved me.
‘Now that I think about it, it was emotional abuse. She basically mentally abused me. It was a mental war. I sacrificed 18 months for a pedophile.
Under cross-examination, Boy B admitted that he had “lied” to police about the chronology of events, but said he had done so to “protect” Joynes, as they met when he was 15.
Mr Michael O’Brien, defending, told him he had not “kissed or hugged” Joynes the first time he went to her flat and that they had not had sex for the first time in February 2022, as he claimed.
But Boy B insisted yes.

O’Brien said the boy had given a second interview to police to say they had had sex before he left school “to put the boot in.”
“She was pregnant with my son. I would never, ever do that,” he responded.
Joynes denies six charges of engaging in sexual activity with a child, including two while a person in a position of trust, between October 2021 and July 2022.
