A teacher became pregnant by a teenage schoolboy while on bail for allegedly having sex with another student, a jury has heard.
Rebecca Joynes, 30, is on trial at Manchester Crown Court charged with six counts of sexual activity with a child, including two while a person in a position of trust.
Joynes allegedly groomed her first alleged victim, Boy A, by buying him a £345 Gucci designer belt and then taking him to her then flat in Salford, Greater Manchester, where they allegedly had sex twice.
A police investigation ensued when the defendant was suspended from her school and she later told police that no sexual activity had taken place.
She was subsequently released on bail on the condition that she not have unsupervised contact with anyone under the age of 18.
At the opening of the case on Monday, prosecutor Joe Allman said Boy A went to court and answered questions from Joynes' attorney in a recorded cross-examination.
Mr Allman continued: “The matter was then adjourned pending the remainder of the trial, but in the meantime it emerged that Ms Joynes had had a fairly long-term sexual relationship with another of her 15-year-old pupils.
“Over time, (Boy B) gave his own story.
“He said Ms Joynes was his teacher, that they had contact while she was suspended and that he went to her flat when he was 15.
“They kissed and after he turned 16 they began a full sexual relationship with her, who much to his horror, became pregnant because she told him she could not get pregnant because she had polycystic ovarian syndrome.
“It is so remarkable and, quite frankly, quite brutal that this all happened while Ms Joynes was on bail in this court.
“Of course she cannot deny that sexual relationship because she became pregnant with (boy B)'s child and had (boy B's) child.
“Instead, this time she claims the sexual activity only started when he was over 16 and she was eventually expelled from school.”
Joynes denies two counts of sexual activity with Boy A, two counts of sexual activity with Boy B and two counts of sexual activity with Boy B while a person in a position of trust.
