The allegations concern two teenage boys - who cannot be named for legal reasons - that the 30-year-old met while she was a teacher.
Prosecutors have claimed in their closing speech that a teacher who had a baby with a former student and is accused of having sex with two teenage pupils ‘made attempts to garner sympathy’ throughout her trials.On Wednesday, May 15, jurors heard legal directions from presiding judge Kate Cornell who requested they 'use common sense and knowledge of the world’, and to ‘put aside their feelings’ when judging the evidence in the case.
Joynes then fell pregnant by another teenager, Boy B, the court has heard. Ms Joynes accepted that they met when he was 15 but insisted they did not have sex until it was legal for them to do so. He said: “Do you remember when Mr O’Brien rounded off his questions to Ms Joynes with a series of questions about her baby? Her and Boy B’s baby.
Jurors previously heard that Ms Joynes had taken Boy A to the Trafford Centre, during which she bought him a Gucci belt from Selfridges worth £345, before taking him back to her flat. The prosecutor said that this was ‘the most obvious example of grooming you can imagine’. “What if he was charged and bailed, and breached that bail by getting into a relationship with a girl from the school?
