High school yearbook includes pages on sex, drugs and partying
Missouri parent Michelle Westerfield on the outrage from the community after yearbook included inappropriate topics.
A 37-year-old Virginia mother was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing twin brothers next door, maintaining a monthslong 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 a criminal complaint obtained by Fox News Digital.
The Chesapeake Police Department received an anonymous call reporting the predatory relationship on Feb. 22.
In subsequent interviews, Watts’ husband told investigators that he woke up around 2 a.m. on Feb. 17 to find that his wife wasn’t in bed; when he checked downstairs, he found her topless and laying on their couch while the child “pretend[ed] to be asleep.”
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 15-year-old 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 later, on July 2, according to the criminal complaint, police were called to the families’ street for a physical altercation between Watts and the twins’ mother.
The teen reportedly ran out of his house, tackled his mother to the ground and choked her — police wrote that they charged the minor with strangulation, though the current status of this charge is unclear.
On or around that day, police said, the teen’s parents reported him missing.
On July 26, 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. When asked for his identification, he reportedly handed police his learner’s permit.
