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.

    Too many words. People aren’t reading it and just assume you’re defending paedophiles. The same reason people are downvoting me as soon as they see “age of consent” and not reading the rest.

    I have three news communities. Almost every active comment section has someone who argues based on the headline and nothing else. Some folks don’t like to read.

      :/ yep.

      My instinct is to rip their[1] throats out.

      But that’s part of the problem that has them hide all the more, preventing remedy, turning them more and more malignant, feeding traffickers and blackmailers.

        Don’t want to get modded for threatening violence when ten people are telling you off and calling you a paedo.

        I agree, getting rid of paedophiles means either killing or treating them. Since the death penalty is a massive human rights abuse, guess we gotta treat them.
