UK Teacher Faces Trial for Alleged Sexual Abuse of Two Teenagers

Rebecca Joynes, a 30-year-old math teacher, is accused of abusing two boys she met at school, with allegations including pregnancy from one of the victims.

Joynes allegedly dismissed one victim's concerns about his age, responding with 'Oh shut up!' when he mentioned he was too young to drive.
The teacher is reported to have bought one victim a designer bag worth over $400 before the alleged abuse.
Court hears Joynes planned a 'date night' to reveal her pregnancy to one of the teenagers, involving romantic gestures and an Ann Summers scratch card.
Victims describe their experiences as initially consensual but increasingly manipulative, with one referring to the relationship as 'friends with benefits' that turned sour.
Joynes denies all charges of sexual activity with the teenagers, claiming no sexual contact occurred. Trial continues in Manchester Crown Court.
