    A teacher accused of having sex with two teenage pupils has been found guilty.

    Rebecca Joynes, 30, was already suspended from her high school job and on bail after engaging in sexual activity with Boy A, 15, when she began a sexual relationship with the second youngster, Boy B, whom she later became pregnant by.

    She was accused of a “naked attempt to garner sympathy” from the jury by having a pink baby’s bonnet visibly tucked into her trouser front belonging to the child fathered by Boy B, whose virginity she took during her trial at Manchester Crown Court.

    Jurors heard both boys, who cannot be identified due to their ages, sent Joynes flirty Snapchat messages before Boy A was taken shopping, bought a £350 Gucci belt and went back to her flat in Salford Quays where he said they had sex, with his semen later recovered from her bedsheets by police.

    Boy B said sexual activity began when he was 15 with kissing and full sex when he was 16 and while he was still a pupil.

    Joynes had claimed no sexual activity ever took place with Boy A and a relationship developed with Boy B while she was suspended from her job and only became sexual after she was dismissed and he had left school at 16, so no offence had taken place.

    The defendant was found guilty of six counts of sexual activity with a child at Manchester Crown Court on Thursday, including two while being a person in a position of trust following a trial after nine hours of deliberation.

    Joe Allman, prosecuting, previously told jurors the defendant was hoping they would see the case differently because she is a woman and not a man.

    He questioned why inappropriate Snapchats, comments and the boys referring to her as ‘Bunda Becky’ were not immediately “shut down” by the teacher and questioned whether she was attracted to teenage boys.

    Earlier, Joynes told the jury she had ruined her “dream job” with stupid “mistakes” by meeting up with the two teenagers and having them back at her flat, but denied under-age sex.

    Joynes told the court she was lonely and flattered by the attention after the breakdown of her nine-year relationship.

    Michael O’Brien, defending, had accused Boy A of teenage boy bravado and claimed Boy B had chosen to “twist the dates” to say sex began earlier when he was still at school and aged 15.

    Joynes wept as she told jurors the baby she had with Boy B was taken away from her hours after giving birth and she is now only allowed to see the child three times a week.

    She had denied the charges.
