But she insists she never had sex with the boys.The 30-year-old was already suspended from her high school job and on bail for alleged sexual activity with a 15-year-old, known as Boy A, when she is said to have taken the virginity of a 16-year-old, who she later fell pregnant with.Liverpool Echo reports that Joynes, of Wirral, Merseyside, denies any sexual activity took place and has pleaded not guilty to six charges of sexual activity with two teenagers while she was a teacher.She is currently on trial at Manchester Crown Court and, due to legal reasons, neither teenager can be identified.
