A teacher found guilty of having sex with two schoolboys in England shed tears as she was sentenced to 6.5 years in prison as one of the teenagers told how he was "coerced, controlled, manipulated" and "sexually abused" by the woman.
According the the court hearing at Manchester Crown Court , Rebecca Joynes groomed two boys from the age of 15, first exchanging messages on social media.
Rebecca, 30, was on police bail for sexual activity with one victim, identified as Boy A, when she began having sex with the second, Boy B, by whom she became pregnant.
She was previously convicted of four counts of sexual activity with a child and two counts of sexual activity with another child.
Joynes cried and shook in the dock as she was sentenced to six-and-a-half years.
The trial heard that Joynes was 28 when she had come out of a nine-year relationship and was "flattered" by the attention of teenage schoolboys.
Neither teenager - known as Boy A and Boy B throughout the trial - can be identified due to their age.
Passing sentence at Manchester Crown Court in northwestern England, Judge Kate Cornell told the former teacher she had behaved with "breathtaking arrogance."
"You were the person in control, the person who should have known better," she said.
"Instead, you abused that position of trust and exploited the privileged role for your own sexual gratification."
In a statement to the court, Boy B said he had been "coerced and controlled, manipulated, sexually abused, and mentally abused" by Joynes.
The court previously heard that when police opened an investigation into her relationship with Boy A, she was warned not to have unsupervised contact with anyone under 18.
But she then began a relationship with Boy B and later gave birth to his child. The baby was removed from her care within 24 hours.
Outside court, Detective Constable Beth Alexander said there was still a lack of understanding about men and boys being the victims of sexual offences.
"They have had to read comments stating others are 'jealous' of them, and that they should be 'happy a young female teacher was interested in them', and this rhetoric is very damaging and dangerous", she told reporters.
"Women can still be paedophiles. This term is not reserved only for men. Men and boys can still be victims of sexual abuse," she said.
英國一名教師因與男學生發生性關係並生下孩子而被判入獄六年半
英國一名因與兩名男學生發生性關係而被判 6.5 年監禁的教師流下了眼淚，其中一名青少年講述了他如何被這名女子「脅迫、控制、操縱」和「性虐待」。
根據曼徹斯特刑事法庭的法庭聽證會，麗貝卡·喬因斯從 15 歲起就開始培養兩個男孩，首先是在社交媒體上交換信息。
30 歲的麗貝卡因與一名受害者（男孩 A）發生性行為而被警方保釋，隨後她開始與第二名受害者男孩 B 發生性關係，並懷孕了。
她先前被判犯有四項與一名兒童發生性行為的罪名和兩項與另一名兒童發生性行為的罪名。
當喬恩斯被判處六年半徒刑時，她在被告席上哭得渾身發抖。
審判獲悉，喬恩斯 28 歲時結束了長達 9 年的戀愛關係，並對十幾歲男生的關注感到「受寵若驚」。
由於年齡，這兩名青少年（在整個審判過程中被稱為男孩 A 和男孩 B）都無法被識別。
法官凱特康奈爾在英格蘭西北部的曼徹斯特刑事法庭宣判時，告訴這位前教師，她的行為表現出「令人驚嘆的傲慢」。
「你是控制者，應該更了解情況的人，」她說。
“相反，你濫用了這種信任地位，並利用特權角色來滿足自己的性滿足。”
男孩B在向法庭提交的聲明中表示，他受到了喬因斯的「脅迫、控制、操縱、性虐待和精神虐待」。
法庭先前獲悉，當警方對她與男孩A的關係展開調查時，她被警告不要在無人監督的情況下與任何18歲以下的人接觸。
但她隨後開始與男孩B發生關係，後來生下了他的孩子。 24小時內，嬰兒就被從她的照顧中移除。
法庭外，警探貝絲·亞歷山大 (Beth Alexander) 表示，人們仍然對男性和男孩成為性犯罪受害者缺乏了解。
她告訴記者：“他們不得不閱讀一些評論，稱其他人‘嫉妒’他們，他們應該‘高興一名年輕女老師對他們感興趣’，這種言論非常具有破壞性和危險性。”
「女性仍然可能是戀童癖。這個詞不僅適用於男性。男性和男孩仍然可能成為性虐待的受害者，」她說。
