Virginia woman Ashleigh Watts charged with sexual abuse of twin boys


A Virginia woman has been charged with indecency after police caught her naked with a missing 15-year-old boy – whose twin brother she is also accused of abusing.

Ashleigh Watts was initially caught when cops came to her Chesapeake home in July looking for the teenager, the New York Post reports. The 37-year-old asked them to wait outside while she put on a bra and let her dogs out.

Officers advised several minutes later that Watts returned to the door with her two dogs still in the residence, allowing them to enter,” court records obtained by Law & Crime state.



“As officers removed the mattress in an upstairs bedroom, they were able to see a white male juvenile hiding in a small space that was only wearing boxer briefs.

When asked by officers if he was [the runaway boy], he advised he was and presented his Learner’s Permit.”

At the time, Watts was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, but her crimes have since been updated to include three counts of indecency with a minor for the “relationships” she is accused of harbouring with the teenagers.

The twins lived across the street and were friends with Watts’ son, who was around the same age, according to court documents.

Watts allegedly began preying on the brothers over a year before she was caught.

Police began investigating the mother of two when an anonymous tipster reported an alleged sexual “relationship” with the boys in February.

That same month, Watts’ husband came home around 2am to find his wife topless on their couch alongside one of the teenage boys, who was “pretending to be asleep”, he would later admit to investigators.
When questioned by his parents, the boy reportedly said that he had gone to Watts’ home to smoke marijuana and fell asleep on the couch.

The two families were “very close friends” and had an open-door policy between their homes, which lay across the street from one another.

The boys’ parents told officers that the brothers were frequently at the Watts family’s home for what they assumed was to spend time with their son.

Behind closed doors, however, Watts was allegedly sexually and emotionally manipulating the teenagers, with one of the boys confiding the abuse to another neighbours

The boys were over the Watts home frequently and were similar in age to Watts’ son. Picture: Facebook

“[The neighbour] told him that [redacted] confided in her that he has been having sex with Ms Watts since June 2022,” police wrote in a probable cause affidavit.

“[Redacted] told her that he and Ms Watts were in love and when he turned seventeen (17) years old, she was going to divorce her husband and they were going to get married.”

Authorities said that after the alleged 13-month-long relationship was exposed, the teen ran away from home and was found hiding in Watts’ bedroom three weeks later on July 26, WAVY reported

His brother confessed to investigators that Watts would invite him over to smoke weed and give him pairs of her underwear.

He also claimed she would touch him inappropriately, despite his pleas for her to stop.

The teenagers’ parents and Watts’ husband have filed protective orders against her

In 1999 a female corpse with black objects on its feet was unearthed in Heilongjiang (China). Experts revealed her tragic experience: was she buried alive? For more than 200 years, a woman's skin, muscles, and joints remained intact. This female body was in the coffin, with a distorted posture and open mouth.

Worst Deaths In History

Worst Deaths In History-Balthasar Gerard- balthasar gerard(alternative spellings gerards or gerardts. c. 1557 – 14 July 1584) was the assassin of the Dutch revolt's leader, William the Silent of the House of Orange (William the Silent, and later known as the "Father of the Fatherland").  He killed William the Silent in Delft on 10 July 1584, by shooting him twice with a pair of pistols, and was afterwards tried, convicted, tortured, and executed. Gérard was born in Franche-Comté (then belonging to Holy Roman Empire, afterwards to France).  He came from a Roman Catholic family with 11 children and was a great admirer of Philip II, king of Spain and the Netherlands.

The Painful Murder Of Czeslawa Kwoka In Auschwitz Extermination Camp, By Phenol Injection In The Heart.

Her name was Czeslawa Kwoka, and her crime was being Polish, Catholic, and 14 years old.  Her red triangle was for political prisoners, because of where she was born in Poland.   After this photo was taken, she was killed in Auschwitz extermination camp on March 12, 1943 with a phenol injection in the heart.   Just before the execution, she was photographed by prisoner Wilhelm Brasse, who would later testify against the executioner of Czeslawa, a woman.   Just before the photo, the executioner punched Czeslawa in the face, as the hematoma on her lip shows.   This is the face of a terrified little girl, who didn't even speak the language of her executioner.   She had lost her mother a few days before.  But she dried her tears to look presentable for the photo.  They took her hair and her life, but they couldn’t take her dignity. She was only one of about 250,000 children and minors who were executed in Auschwitz-Birkenau. T...

THE HORRIBLE EXECUTION OF TERESA LEWIS FOR THE MURDER OF HER HUSBAND.

Teresa Wilson Bean Lewis who became only the second woman executed by Virginia, when she was put to death in 2010, at the age of 41. Teresa had first met Julian, a widower, in the Spring of 2000 at the Dan River Inc. fabric factory where they both worked. By June of that year, they were married and Teresa moved into Julian’s trailer on five acres of land in Keeling, in rural Pittsylvania County, Virginia.Julian’s son, Jason, had died in an accident in December 2001 and his father had received his life insurance payout, a sum in excess of $200,000, which he placed in an account that was only accessible by him. In August 2002, Julian's son Charles was required to report for National Guard duty so Julian made a will and took out a $250,000 life insurance policy on him. Both only named Teresa as the secondary beneficiary. In other words, she would get nothing if Julian died and was survived by Charles. Sometime in the Fall of 2002 Teresa met Matthew Shallenberger in Walmart. She and Sh...

This lion, named Sikio Kali, is one of the Mara’s famous four Musketeers.

A king of the Mara meets his match This lion, named Sikio Kali, is one of the Mara’s famous four Musketeers. He recently got on the wrong side of a warthog’s tusks during a predation attempt, leaving him with a deep wound to his forehead.  Taking down prey is not without risk for lions, as warthogs can inflict nasty gashes with their tusks (as can buffalo and wildebeest with their horns).  In this case, Masai Mara Reserve rangers spotted Sikio's plight just in time, as his wounds were septic and covered in maggots. After receiving the call for help and rushing to the scene, the SWT/KWS Mara Mobile Vet Unit found the lion lying in the shade, trying to shield his face from flies.  The intervention came not a moment too soon for Sikio, as vets manually cleaned and disinfected his wounds, before administering drugs to aid healing.  Subsequent sightings have shown him recovering well, although this battle-worn fellow – who is already missing most of his left ear – will lo...

Firing Squad to Gas Chamber: How Long Do Executions Take?

Utah brought back the firing squad this week as a backup execution method, with some proponents saying it’s the fastest and most humane way of killing condemned inmates in an era when lethal injections have dragged on as long as two hours. “It’s the only method we have in this country for which people are trained to kill,” said Fordham Law Professor Deborah Denno, an expert on capital punishment. “It appears the death is the quickest.” Last summer, a federal judge wrote in an opinion that firing squad should probably replace the needle as the U.S. execution method — even though he thought another was more foolproof. “The guillotine is probably best, but seems inconsistent with our national ethos,” Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals wrote. With states considering alternatives from the electric chair to the gas chamber, here’s a look at how long it takes to kill a condemned inmate with each method: Popularized during the French Revolution as a humane alternati...

THE WORST AND HORRIBLE CRUCITIXION ANCIENT METHOD OF EXECUTION..

The Crucifixion was an ancient execution method, in which the criminal's hands and feet were bound or nailed to a wooden, cross-like structure. It wasa capital punishment reserved for slaves, traitors, "heretics", and usually the worst of criminals. It became widespread during the reign of Alexander the Great, but it still remains in occasional use in some countries. There were various methods of performing the crucifixion. Usually, the prisoner had to drag the crossbeam of his cross, weighing around 100 pounds, to the place of execution. Subsequently, his outstretched arms were bound to the crossbeam, or sometimes nailed through the wrists, and the crossbeam was raised and fixed to the already standing upright post. Death was usually caused by overall exhaustion or by heart failure. Sometimes, to shorten the victim's suffering, his legs were shattered using an iron club, so that subsequent asphyxiation soon ended his life.
