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.

      That is the church protecting their own, who are by necessity men. You are insinuating that men, specifically because they are men, are let free when they commit sexual abuse, which is simply not the case, unless they’re billionaires.

          I consider my point proven, you have decided that things are a certain way and you will refuse to acknowledge reality because it is imperative to your identity to keep it intact.

              The fact that you’re being downvoted while the other user is receiving the opposite proves that you are, in fact, the loser. And an idiot 😂

                I can’t see votes, but I guess that everything that gets upvoted is right and everything that gets downvoted is wrong.
