A teacher’s downfall reached its conclusion today as Rebecca Joynes, 30, was found guilty of four counts of sexual activity with a child, along with two counts of sexual activity with a child by a person in a position of trust. The verdict came after a rigorous two-week trial at Manchester Crown Court.

Throughout the trial, Joynes staunchly denied allegations of sexual contact with one of her students, referred to as boy A. She insisted that her relationship with a second teenager, boy B, commenced only after he had left school and she had been terminated from her position, arguing that it wasn’t illegal.
