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.
