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.

          No, and no, Fuck you and fuck your pedo friends trying to pretend that your predation on children is anything near the same thing as queer acceptance. You’re sick and actively doing harm to LGBT communities and acceptance by trying to equivocate the two. Having a kink for raping kids isnt a sexuality, quit pretending that it is.

            Oh come on mods, there was nothing objectionable in my comments.

            Anyway, you’re making a lot of assumptions there. I never said anything like that. I just mentioned that a lot of MAPs are supportive and often part of the queer community, as part of their gender identity, bisexuality or the likes. The equivocation comes from your own interpretation. And I’m not pretending that it is a sexuality, I could call it a “paraphilic disorder” if you like, perfectly fine with me. I could go on about why it’s not simply a kink like that, but I guess that would be too much intellectually honest discourse for .world, so I’ll leave it at that.
