Virginia mom allegedly caught topless in sex abuse of twin teen brothers next door

A 37-year-old Virginia mother was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing two twin brothers next door, maintaining a months-long illicit relationship, after her husband caught her topless with one of the teen neighbors. 

Ashleigh Watts had allegedly maintained a sexual relationship with one of the 15-year-olds since June 2022, according to court documents obtained by People. 

The Chesapeake Police Department received an anonymous call reporting the predatory relationship on Feb. 22. 

In subsequent interviews, Watts’ husband told investigators that he found his wife topless with one of the boys around 2 a.m. on one occasion while the child “pretend[ed] to be asleep” on the couch.

The teen reportedly told his parents that he went to Watts’ home to smoke marijuana and “chilled until he fell asleep” on their couch, and he denied that there had been any sexual activity between them. 

The teen would later tell his father that he had sex with Watts multiple times, per the complaint.

The teen confided in a neighbor and said that he and Watts were in love, per the documents. When he turned 17, he said, Watts intended to leave her husband and marry him. 

Months after speaking with the neighbor about the relationship, the 15-year-old was reported missing by his parents. 

Police allegedly found him in Watts’ home about 20 days later after they removed a mattress in an upstairs bedroom and spotted him hiding in a crawl space wearing only his boxers.

Before she allowed officers to enter the house, per documents, Watts made them wait while she put on a bra and took her dogs out to relieve themselves.

On July 26, Watts was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Watts, who has a son about the same age as the twins, had a “very close relationship” with the neighbors and kept an “open door policy,” per the documents. 

The smitten brother’s twin told police that Watts would also touch him inappropriately, gave him pairs of underwear and would invite him into her house to smoke marijuana.
