Teens 'put boot in' on teacher accused of having sex with pupils

The defence in the trial of a teacher accused of having sex with two teenage boys has claimed the alleged victims were 'lying' and 'putting the boot in'.

In his closing speech for the defence this afternoon, Michael O'Brien, said the first complainant, Boy A, had lied about what had taken place between himself and Joynes while the second complainant, Boy B, had 'put the boot in' while being interviewed by detectives, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Mr O'Brien said Boy A initially denied anything had happened with Joynes, claiming it was all just "banter" with his friends that got out of hand in a group chat. The defence counsel said Boy B gave "unclear and inconsistent answers" to questions. He said Joynes and Boy B, were in a "perfectly legal relationship" which the teenager had chosen to "twist the dates" and "put the boot in", to say sex began earlier when he was at school and aged 15.
