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.

    by their genitalia.

    So, like not using an object of some sort?

    Journalists, since their purpose is to serve the public with the truth, have to really carefully choose their words as using the wrong legal term

    Still seems like a more generic term such as “sexual assault” would be applicable here.

      It would, but that’s a very broad term. I expect they were trying to be specific, but only succeeded in being forgiving in the headline.
