A 37-year-old mother from Virginia, United States of Amercia (USA) is facing a charge of indecency this week after police caught her naked with a missing 15-year-old boy.
The woman is also accused of abusing the boy’s twin brother.
Ashleigh Watts was initially arrested when police came to her Chesapeake, Virgina home in July looking for the teenager and she 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 abusive relationship she had 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 s3xual relationship with the boys in February.
Also in February, Watts’ husband would come home around 2 a.m. to find his wife Private 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 home for what they assumed was to spend time with their son.
Behind closed doors, however, Watts was allegedly s3xually and emotionally manipulating the teenagers, with one of the boys revealing the abuse to another neighbor.
