UK - Rebecca Joynes, teacher, accused of sex offence against 2 pupils

She served 6 months on remand until she was about to give birth to the baby, then after that she did 6 months of "qualified curfew" which is almost like house arrest and counts half as much towards credit for time served.

so: 6 + (6/2) = 9 months.

That's my guess anyway.

Wow that is crazy! I had no idea. Being on tag should not count towards time served at all. Makes her sentence look even more of a joke now.

6.5 yrs.

How long has she done already - 6 months ? - so out in 3 ? far too low imo

I think TLP have got the parole eligibility date wrong. They've put 4/10/27 (I.E. 3y3m - half of 6y6m sentence - from now), but she's already served 9 months on remand, so parole date should be 4/1/27 instead?

Thanks Bobby, should have read this before I posted - so effectively 2.5 years only
