A Virginia woman has been charged indecency with a minor for allegedly have sexual relations with 15-year-old teen brothers.
Court documents say Ashleigh Watts, 37, is accused of having sex with the boys, who lived across the street, for nearly eight months, WAVY reported.
Chesapeake police began investigating when they received an anonymous tip on February 22.
The documents say that a few days before the tip came in, Watts’ husband found her topless on their couch with one of the boys, who was “pretending to be asleep.” The boy told his parents he went to his neighbor’s house to smoke marijuana and then “chilled until he fell asleep on the couch.”
But he told a different story to a neighbor, the boy’s parents said. He told the neighbor that he’d been having sex with Watts since June 2022 and that they were in love. The boy reportedly said that when he turned 17, Watts was going to leave her husband so they could get married.
In July, the boy was reported as a runaway. Police found him about three weeks later at Watts’ home, hiding in small space behind a mattress in an upstairs bedroom.

The court documents said the other twin told police that Watts frequently invited him over when she had marijuana, and they would smoke together. He said Watts inappropriately touched him.
Watts is due in court in October.
The twins’ parents and Watts’ husband filed for protective orders against her.
