Joynes, who had felt “lonely” and “craved” attention following the ending of a nine-year relationship, took the boy to the Trafford Centre where she bought him the Gucci belt.
The boy then invented a cover story – telling his mother he was staying over at a friend’s house – and spent the night at Joynes’ apartment in Salford, where they had sex twice, which he said felt “weird” and “crazy”.
While there, Boy A had messaged a friend telling him he’d “just had sex with Miss Joynes” and he also sent a photo of the sleeping teacher, despite her telling him: “No one better find out.”
Rumours began circulating and on the Monday morning police were called to her school, along with Boy A’s “distraught” mother, and Joynes was arrested and suspended.
