A PAEDO teacher broke down as she was found guilty of having sex with two students – including one she had a child with while out on bail.
Rebecca Joynes, 30, began a relationship with the boys after attacking them while they were attending maths class at school.

She groomed a 15-year-old boy with a £345 Gucci belt before sleeping with him twice in her Salford flat.
The predator also had sex with a 16-year-old boy on 30 different occasions before having a child with him.
Joynes was today convicted of four counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child, including two while a person in a position of trust following a trial.
She burst into tears and shook when the verdict was given after nine hours of deliberation.
Manchester Crown Court heard how Joynes’ vile crimes began in 2021 when she attacked an A boy in her maths class.
The former gymnast – known as “Bunda Becky” – gave the 15-year-old the first ten digits of her number and asked him to guess the last one.
He told the court he texted her to say “hi” and when she didn’t respond he said in class: “So you’re just ignoring me?”
The pair started texting in a “normal” way at first, but Joynes asked if he wanted to meet up.
He said: “I remember saying, ‘Surely you’re joking?’
“And she said, ‘No, I’m not.’”
In a series of messages, the pair discuss his trip to her apartment, with the teenager asking whether or not they were still hooked up.
Joynes responds, “You better have come, now that you told me you did.”
In another conversation, they joked about another student joining them before Boy A told his teacher that he should be “the only one.”
Joynes replied: “Obviously it’s just you.”
Boy A then said: “As it should be. Best student by far.”

The teenager also told Joynes that he no longer liked maths because “he gets very distracted now”, before adding that it was “from work”.
The teacher replied: “The work would be better.”
They went to Selfridges in Trafford Center where the teacher bought the seat belt for the teenager before driving him home in her Audi.
Laughing Joynes even told him to “shut up” when he mentioned his age before the couple had sex twice in her apartment.
The pair had unprotected sex, with Boy A telling the teacher: “‘I hope to God you don’t get pregnant.’
Despite begging the boy not to say anything, he sent his friends a photo of the teacher lying down as proof that they slept together.
The next day, his “distraught” mother received a call from the school saying a report had been made.
When confronted, Boy A at first claimed it was just a “stupid conversation” with his teammates that got out of hand.
But his mother later received another call – this time from the mother of a teenager where Boy A claimed he was staying when he was actually with Joynes.
A police investigation was launched in October 2021 and she was subsequently arrested and released on bail with the condition that she not come into contact with any children under the age of 18.
Despite this, Joynes “shamelessly” turned his attention to a second student – Boy B – when he was 15 years old.
This developed into a sexual relationship when he turned 16, after Joynes sent a photo of her bottom wearing underwear.
She also wrote the teenager an emotional note describing him as “perfect”.
It said: “I know we are struggling right now and we are extremely stressed.
“But I really hope we can find something to keep this going for a while longer.
“Every inch of you is perfect and you are everything I ever dreamed of.”

Upon turning 16, the boy went to Joynes’ apartment, where she straddled him and kissed him before taking his virginity.
The pair later had sex at least 30 times in “several different places.”
Joynes told Boy B that it was “almost impossible” for her to get pregnant because she had polycystic ovary syndrome.
But he went to her apartment for a “date night” and was treated to pizza, scattered rose petals and an Ann Summers sexual activity scratch card.
Joynes then gave him a babygrow that said “I love my dad to the moon and back.”
Boy B told the court he reacted by saying: “What the fuck?”
He said Joynes was crying and told him, “I don’t know if I can do this alone.”
The boy also told jurors he tried to end the relationship after believing Joynes was “emotionally abusing” him.
The teenager added: “I would try to put an end to it and say ‘you’re really weird, you’re basically a newbie, go find someone your own age’.”
He added that he spent 18 months of his life “with a pedophile”.
The girl was taken from Joynes following an emergency hearing 24 hours after giving birth and is now in the care of her teenage father.

The teacher, who holds a baby hat in court every day, can have contact three times a week for three hours.
During his testimony, Joynes tried to portray himself as someone who felt “lonely” and wanted attention.
She told how she had broken down during the pandemic by vehemently denying having a “powerful” sexual attraction to 15-year-old boys.
Joynes also told jurors he ruined his “dream job” with stupid “mistakes” – but claimed his sexual relationship with Boy B only began after he turned 16 and they both left school.
The teacher said: “I was in love with him. I was pregnant with his child.”
But the court was told that Joynes was simply a “gaslighter” who was trying to present herself as a victim.
She was also accused of a “naked attempt to garner sympathy” by visibly tucking a baby hat belonging to the daughter she had with Boy B into her pants.
Joe Allman, prosecuting, said: “She is aware of the optics here.
“Is Miss Joynes more cunning than she seems?”
‘She is a sexual predator’ – police react to Joynes’ conviction
Detective Constable Beth Alexander, from our Child Protection Investigation Unit in Salford, said: “Firstly, I would like to thank the victims and their families for being brave enough to come forward and work with us on our investigation.
“Rebecca Joynes is a sexual predator. She was their teacher and they rightfully placed their trust in her.
“But Joynes decided to abuse his position and used it to groom two teenagers.
“We welcome today’s verdict and now hope that Joynes faces the consequences of his actions.
“I would like to thank the officers who worked closely with the victims and their families in establishing the full circumstances of this case, as well as the investigation team for their hard work and dedication during this investigation.
“Both victims and their families have asked that their privacy be respected now and in the future – they all wish to get on with their lives and put this ordeal behind them.”
Joynes has denied four charges of engaging in sexual activity with a child, including two while a person in a position of trust.
The teacher, who has already spent five months in pre-trial detention, was released on bail to be sentenced on July 4th.
Jane Wilson, Senior Crown Prosecutor at CPS North West, said: “Rebecca Joynes is a sexual predator.
“Joynes has been entrusted with the responsibility of teaching and protecting children. She abused her position to groom and ultimately sexually exploit students. Her behavior had a lasting impact on them.
“The CPS worked with Greater Manchester Police to build a strong case to present to the jury, including eyewitness statements, telephone evidence showing messages sent by Joynes and CCTV footage.
“I would like to thank the victims for supporting the prosecution. Joynes will now face the consequences of his actions.”
