63-year old Ronald Watson, of Marietta, is accused of holding down and inappropriately touching a 28-year old woman in his home last week.

During an interview with deputies, Watson stated he did invite the woman to his home to smoke marijuana, and the sexual contact was consensual.

Deputies found marijuana, a pipe and a prescription bottle containing Klonopin for which Watson had no prescription.

Watson was arrested for a felony charge of gross sexual imposition, and for misdemeanor charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Watson is currently being held in the Washington County Jail pending his court appearance.

Seems unfair that she went in knowingly to consume drugs and marijuana, however, got a little more than she bargained for. I agree with the first poster. She was involved in illegal activities and should have been arrested as well.
