‘People have had very strange responses’ Former detective SLAMS response to ‘predatory’ maths teacher – MASHAHER



A GB News guest was left fuming and claimed that the legal case would have been reported very differently if the maths teacher found guilty of having sex with two school pupils had been a man.

It comes after teacher Rebecca Joynes was found guilty of engaging in sexual activity with two schoolboys.

Joynes, 30, was convicted on four counts of sexual activity with a child and two counts of sexual activity with another child.

Speaking on GB News, former Detective Chief Inspector Mike Neville said: “The prosecution barrister made the point that if the teacher were called Roger and not Rebecca, then it would be treated in a far different way.

“People tend to sort of see this as though the boys have had some kind of good time or something where they’re the victims of sexual assault. And so she’ll face a lengthy prison sentence, it would seem.”

He later added: “People think if men do it, it’s some kind of a predatory thing, whereas a woman teacher is involved in all this, and it’s seen as some kind of teenage boys fantasy. But the reality is that it involves a sexual crime against minors and has got to be dealt with as such.”

He elaborated: “It’s a criminal act. Some people have had very strange responses which trivialise what is not a trivial matter in your experience, because this is being reported in various ways.”
