Secret prison pregnancy of teacher who preyed on pupils

A "predatory" teacher found guilty today of sex offences involving two teenage boys was pregnant while in prison awaiting trial.

Joynes spent her own youth in Thingwall, a leafy village in Wirral. She had been through the prestigious Teach First programme, which aims to fight social disadvantage in the country by recruiting future leaders in education. Not every suspected sex offender gets bail. It means people accused of serious offences can live a relatively normal life until their case comes up at court. It’s most often granted to people who appear to pose no risk to the public, people whose reputation indicates that they can be trusted.

After evidence of these further offences came to light, Joynes was remanded into custody to await her trial. She was now a serial offender. A woman who had manipulated two boys, slept with both of them, preying on the second while awaiting justice for preying on the first. In January, she gave birth to a baby girl - one who could have no idea of the circumstances in which she was conceived, and little contact with the mother who, instead of enjoying the previous first few months of her life, was standing before a jury at Manchester Crown Court, fighting for her reputation and her liberty.

But the trial judge disagreed and said she was still bound by the rules and obligations of her post, and she was still being paid while suspended. The judge said Joynes could have resigned, but pointed out that she didn’t. CCTV footage showed them in the shopping centre, with Joynes buying him a £345 Gucci belt at the luxury brand’s concession in Selfridges. Further footage showed them entering her flat later that day.
