I've been to that cafe a few times, I hope that her parents business isn't affected, its not their fault.
Rebecca is a disgraceful predator who I believe entered teaching to gain access to children of the age she never grew out of being attracted to.
I'm sure there will be outside factors, emotional maturity, flattery, poor self esteem maybe but not a single reason that could be used to give an explanation as to why she not only felt it was acceptable to groom children and coerse them into sexual relationships but also how anyone could find young teenage boys sexually attractive. It's disgusting that anyone who is an adult could find minors sexually attractive but to act upon it, to put yourself in a position of power and trust and give yourself opportunity to be around the demographic of child you're wanting to abuse is just abhorrent.
I think back to my teenage crush of a male teacher and I'm pretty sure he knew, I even bumped into him completely at random a few times and he and his friends left the club, a club he had far more right to be in as an adult in his early 20s as I did as a child of 14.
I'm sure he was flattered to have a student looking all doe eyed at him but he didn't ever engage or encourage it.
Rebecca joynes is a predator.
Do I think she's predatory in the same way peadophiles who download sexual abuse images of babies and toddlers are? No. But do I think she's a dangerous adult to have around children and deserves a prison sentence and to never be allowed to teach again? Absolutely.
I think there will be people trying to make excuses for her and want to give her leniency because they think teenage boys aren't as easily pressured as teenage girls or teenage boys are almost lucky to have a sexual experience that sounds like a plot of a very dated dirty movie. But what she has done is groom, deceive, exploit and commit a gross sexual assault on 2 minors.
