Rebecca Joynes is currently serving a six and a half year prison sentence

A teacher who was convicted for having sex with two boys, becoming pregnant by one, has been banned from the profession.

Maths teacher Rebecca Joynes, 31, was jailed for six and a half years in July last year after being found guilty of six counts of sexual activity with a child, after sleeping with one pupil before falling pregnant by a second while on police bail.

The Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) convened earlier this month via a virtual hearing, which Joynes did not attend, to consider her professional conduct. A panel recommended she be banned from teaching.

    Why do this? There’s millions of legal age men who would love to start a family with this crazy woman. Why did she rape kids?

      One kid was 15, the other 16.

      She was 30 or 31.

      … the answer is because she’s a groomer, a pedophile, by how those terms are generally used.

      She gets off on the power imbalance, she gets off on manipulating and exploiting those who don’t and can’t reasonably be expected to know better.

      She either wouldn’t prefer to be or just couldn’t be in a relationship with someone on an equal playing field.

      She’s a sexual predator, the kind you’d stereotypically call Chris Hansen to investigate.

      We don’t get to choose who and what we are attracted to. 🤷🏻‍♂️ However, that does not absolve one of immoral actions.

        … Imagine saying this regarding a male teacher aged 30/31 who groomed a 15 year old and 16 year old student, and got the 15 year old student pregnant.

        (This woman got pregnant by the 15 yo student she groomed… and she had that child.)

        “Oh I dunno, I guess some people are attracted to kids! 🤷 Its a bad thing to do though.”

        What the fuck.

        No, its a lot more than just a bad thing, merely immoral actions. Its three innocent lives massively damaged, thrown off course, poetentially fucked up for life, because of the manipulative and selfish actions of a person in a position of trust and authority absuing that trust and authority.

        And yeah its three lives, not two, because there’s no way this doesn’t massively negatively affect the life of her baby.

        … this woman is a serial sexual predator, who pursued the second relationship after being investigated for the first one and more or less getting away with a slap on the wrist.

        Thats not just ‘immoral actions’, it’s basically downright evil, which, according to the judge of the most recent trial, was carried out with “breathtaking gall” and “astonishing arrogance.”

        Downplaying the magnitude of how fucked up this is, is itself fucked up.

        “MAP” type excusatory bullshit, fuck off. Pedophilia is not a sexuality because “child” is not a sex or gender expression.

        Nonononono NO.

        Child rape teachers are knowingly taking advantage of social trust in order to exploit kids. Absolutely nothing in the ball park of “pedos can’t help it”. Rape is not a kink, fetish or identity, it’s a selfish, harmful, devastating crime with decades of repurcussions.

        Please, I implore you to please never use this type of LGBTQIA acceptance language for pedophila. Child rapists are light-years away from two queer consenting adults and conflating the two only harms the innocent.

        When discussing attraction to children is the cope of pedophiles. I don’t buy this shit.

        You’re trying to make space for pedos by weaponizing queer acceptance. Fucking stop it.
