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.
Weird how this is not an issue in most other countries and that America always has to make everything complicated or convoluted. Arresting two minors for having sex with each other with consent is weird as fuck. I really don’t understand why America has to be this extreme with everything. You guys never have nuance, it’s either all or nothing. Fuck the kids or fuck them kids!
In my country the law says that you are sexually mature at the age of 15, which means that as an adult can have sex with a 15 year old. However, recording or taking pictures of sexual acts are still considered illegal until you reach the age of 18.
Do you know what we don’t have? Lots of pedoes. Because the vast majority of people realize that having sex with a 15 year old is creepy as fuck and they do not find it attractive. We also have good sexual education so that everyone, especially the younger people, can make informed decisions.
And having sex with a minor here (under the age of 15) is always considered rape in the eyes of the law if you are an adult. That said, most parents or the kids themselves won’t care if a 14 year old had sex with a 16 year old and they won’t make a big deal out of it as long as there was consent. Because everything is not black or white. We have nuance.
Jaywalking is also illegal here but nobody cares, not even the police, because if nobody got hurt or you didn’t put other people at harms way then there’s no reason to make a big deal out of it.
But getting back to the topic, I do really think that a female teacher “having sex” with a minor boy is rape and should be called out as such. There’s no reason to minimize her crime and call it something else.
