Del Mar regent arrested
Watts charged with sexual assault early Tuesday

CORPUS CHRISTI — Attorney and Del Mar College Regent Guy Leland Watts remained in Nueces County Jail Tuesday night after he was arrested in connection with a possible sexual assault.
Watts’ wife, Kimberly, accused him of the assault before midnight Monday. Police arrested him shortly after at his home in the 4200 block of Ocean Drive.
Kimberly Watts, 42, was taken to Doctor’s Regional Hospital, but police didn’t indicate her condition. Judge J. Manuel Bañales with the 105th District Court said at a hearing Tuesday that as is standard in family violence cases, Guy Watts, 66, would be held for 24 hours and able to post his $50,000 bond today.
Bañales set an arraignment hearing for 8 a.m. Jan. 2, in the same court. He also ordered Watts to take an HIV test and wear an electronic monitoring device, measures court officials said are standard in sexual assault cases.
He said he was innocent Tuesday afternoon, when he was brought before Municipal Court Judge Margie Silva Flores for a emergency protective order hearing. The order was filed against him after his arrest.
Under the terms of the protective order, Watts is not permitted to return to his house in the 4200 block of Ocean Drive and must stay away from his wife and stepdaughter.
Watts is the Del Mar College District 4 regent; his term expires next November. Before elected to his current seat in 2001, he served as a regent from 1988 to 1990 and 1992 to 1999. Watts ran unsuccessfully for the city council and applied to fill a vacant Corpus Christi Independent School District seat last spring.

SEXUAL assault?
At age 66?
Something stinks about this one because the old saying, "it takes all night to do what I used to do all night" is in full force long before that age, which makes me wonder what the "fight" was all about and who started it!
We already know who lost...

I have to say that I believe the story and Kim's side of it. The man is a stalker. Ask around to women he's visited when he's supposedly "campaigning" but asking very personal questions of women.
He might be someone's attorney and be perfectly capable of doing a good job at his profession, but there's another side of him.

So when you tell your wife "NO we can't afford a new couch." But she buys it anyway, can you have her arrested for theft? Or what about telling your wife "NO I don't want to see PS I love you" but she drags you to the movies to see it anyway, can you have her arrested for kidnapping or false imprisonment? No means "NO!" right?

Post 15 - "I have to say that I believe the story and Kim's side of it."
Based on what? Psychic ability? Have you heard HIS side of the story drifting through the ether as well?
I don't believe either one of them. They had a fight, she lost so she called the cops! It happens all the time. Since she had no "bruises or abrasions" she told them it was a SEXUAL assault! I'm not sure about you youngsters but no one over 60 is going to buy that story! It may not be impossible but it's right there next to it and EXTREMELY improbable!
Time to break out the old checkbook! THAT little disagreement is fixing to cost him a BUNDLE!!!

So easy for a wife to yell rape, and the husband is guilty automatically.
Please don't point the finger yet. Young wife, wants a divorce with out cause, I just got cause. Takes husband to cleaner, possible to jail. He is out of the way, so, young wife can trade for a newer model. She has his money and ruins the guy along the way. HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
So, let's stand back and see what is what when the smoke clears.

Post 30, no I'm not psychic; the man followed me home from the grocery store and handed me his "campaign" card and then proceeded to ask me very personal questions.
He's got problems. I'll bet with a little wine or gin in his system, he takes what he wants when he wants it.
It was creepy when he followed me then questioned me.

Look people … if you have ever worked in a retirement home and I’m not talking about a nursing home where people are ill … I’m talking about where the elderly go to get a little help doing their daily activities ... then you know that old people still have sex … it’s a myth the elderly are not sexual. I can tell that the men who live in these homes are highly sought after by all the women there because there are far more women than men … women live longer. So those of you saying that no way did he want or was capable of sex at 66 is wrong.
Rape and sexual assault are about power not sex.

Post 58 - you could not be more wrong. Married women have not given up their right to say no and mean it. A married woman is not a slave but a partner who has free will. And if a judge set the bail at 50k not "releasing on his own recognizance: then one is tempted to believe there was some corroborating evidence. That still doesn't mean he was guilty, or that she is innocent.... only that there was some reason to believe there may be a case to be made.

There is no way we can judge either side on this yet. I've met Guy and worked with him on some things years ago. Seemed like a good guy. Ofcourse that doesn't mean anything. Most of the time in these situations, both parties are whack. If it is true, "no does mean no", even in a marriage (which really stinks).
He should've done what the rest of us do. Pout, throw a guilt trip, refuse to do house work when "she" wants you to, and stay up late to watch Cinemax!

Well said, Post 60. I don't know how old you are post 58 but you must have grown up in a cave. NO MEANS NO!!! No matter what. Abuse is abuse, whether it be sexual, physical, verbal or emotional. If a woman says no to her husband and he attacks her anyway, he has no respect for her. It really doesn't matter whether I know the Watts' or not. The fact of the matter is, he is a public personality and if this had happened (and it does) to any other average Joe, there would not be such a big deal made about it. I just hope that if it is true justice is served.

Post 58 sounds like a rapist, you've got to be something wrong to think that way. I can only imagine what someone would be going through when they are raped. I pray for the victim and the person charged in this case. I do not know them personally, but it seems like so many things have gone wrong in their marriage and hopefully with GOD's help they can fix it. For those of you that think that marriage gives you the right to take sex from your spouse anytime you want it, your so wrong. Marriage is an institution created by GOD and sex is a beautiful thing for married people to share and show their love towards one another, also created by GOD. It's not suppose to be perverted or forced upon. God bless.

I have met Mr. Watts on several occasions and I agree that he is creepy. This doesn't surprise me at all. He would be late to a function on purpose so he could "arrive" and be the center of attention. Then he proceeded to monopolize the conversation. I hated to have to sit near him because I always had the feeling he was watching me and not for a good reason. It makes me shiver just thinking about it. Is disbarrment a possibility if convicted?

Post 73- The bible was written a long time ago by men. It's also been revised and translated so many times, who knows what it's original intent was anymore. I doubt God really expects women to just "put out" whenever because her husband's in the mood. Isn't marriage supposed to be about love and respect for each other? Also, sexual assault really doesn't have to do with sex, it's a power trip. I'm not sticking up for her, either. For all I know she made it up, and is wanting his $, I have no idea, but comments like yours give me yet ANOTHER reason to stay out of the churches and away from people like you. I'm quite capable of thinking for myself and I know right from wrong without someone preaching at me to figure it out.

The headline is misleading......I thought it was a stranger type assualt.....it was a domestic disturbance and probably the old coot did not know what NO meant from his young wife since he might have been all hyped up on VIAGRA.
The attack/advances or whatever the assualt was..... must have been pretty insulting for the wife to involve the police. Most women would have said, hey buddy, go sleep in the next room or either I will.
So by her calling 911, this must have been a gross situation going on in that house.
.
Surely she did not dial that emergency number and ruin his reputation lightly, nor were they drunk or some such. Her complaint had a basis and some merit, right? This is legit, right?
Yeah, right.
No one would take up the cops time needlessly. So he must have done something to merit the call for help.

Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Col 3:19 Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.
Are you suggesting that forced intercourse is part of Christ's love for the church?

I never understood athiest... I am a Christian and am proud to say that... there are those crazy Christians Radicals out there that do get on my nerves... but I would never let some one else determine my faith... or in you case post 111, lack there of.... but if you are not a believer, then tell me, do you celebrate the Christmas celebration... take advantage of taking the days off of work?? enjoy the gift of giving? i was just wondering... but anyway... another way to look at it is.... I would rather be a Christian and be wrong about my faith in God, than be an atheist and be wrong... just a thought....
As for the accusations... I hope they are not true.... however.... people tend to blow things way out of proportion without all the facts in place....

NO MEANS NO. For all of you women AND men out there that feel that just because the person is your spouse or friend, that you are not allowed to say NO. It isn't true. IT'S RAPE. No matter how horny, drunk, married for years, i made you what you are EXCUSES they give. IT'S RAPE. Laugh at it if you will. It doesn't matter why she made the decision to call 911--It she said NO, and he decided to ignore that NO, the next place need to be with the INMATES., in JAIL The popularity of the person doesn't mean a thing when it comes to breaking the law. NO MEANS NO-------Stop making light of this situation folks--If it did truly happen then I truly applaud Mrs. Watts for her bravery , and hope that her husband gets help for this national problem with some spouses( no one wants their business out in the streeet, esp. the streets of CC) and if it did not happen, i hope she gets help for accusations that can ruin a person and their career. Let's just pray for their family, and the truth will be before all at some point. Let's pray for our city as a whole. This place as one has already said , (CC) needs major moral boosting. It's evident in so many of the comments here. By the way, if my spouse EVER raped me, i would have NO PROBLEM in sending his A -- to jail to be with the other rapists. I love him, but not to where i would not report the awful disrespect, and crime of RAPE. Don't wonder who i am, just continue to love and respect each other. Take care Corpus Christi. God is Good.

Post 126...did the article say she was raped?
He could just pull her blouse off and they could call that sexual assualt if she did not want him to do that to her.....
Wait until the information comes in.....the news report is still very sketchy. He may be guilty as hell, but see what the facts are and if she made a false report in the middle of an argument.
However, it had to be pretty bad stuff going on for her to call the cops.....so let's just wait and see if the guy named Guy is guilty or innocent.

I don't think Guy Watts and Mikal Watts are father/son....I know as a FACT that he does have a son...Guy Watts, Jr. I know this because I went to school with him...his mom is Sandra Watts. I will wait until I hear all of the facts in this case. Those of you referring to the Bible, our church pastor preaches mutual respect...the man's #1 need is "sex" the wife's #1 need is "affection"...husband and wife should not expect their needs to be met, but respect the other's need. Expecting the wife to meet his needs and not meeting her needs is wrong.

Ok 127 I'm 126
No the news did not say rape, and i didn't say he raped her either. I SAID NO MEANS NO. I and SOCIETY stils say it . Now don't put words in my mouth. I told some people that do not appear to know the definition what it means in simple terms. I am not judging him. But let me approach you with this question, since you seem to know a little more about what the accusations were, lets say he JUST pulled off her shirt, does that mean he did not violate her because he did finish off what his intentions? And one more question, should she have waited to see WHAT ELSE he was going to pull off before calling 911----Anymore excuses for what he did ? Give a Break----I never accused him of anything, but why are you defending if you want everyone to wait on facts---You know the facts???

Post 126... I agree that rape is no laughing matter.
I don't know if he raped her or not, the article did not say.
So I guess rape should be brought up on the comment board.
The assault charge can be for any number of things which are also not laughing matters.
And indeed, No means no, does not matter if married or not.
And with this latest update to the article above, it sounds like he should not have been in the same house with her at all if he had filed for divorce on Dec. 7.
He must be nuts to try something that could land him in jail and he being a lawyer should know better.

Judge Sandra Watts would never just let him off. First of all, she is one of the best and fairest judges in the county. Second, she was once married to him and know what he is capable of.
My question is how many judges will recuse themselves and just WHAT good ole Carlos Valdez is going to do to with this one. Another book in the making for him?

This is post 58: I think you guys are misreading what I wrote.
I said he seemed like a nice guy, but that doesn't mean anything.
I said, "if this is true" meaning if the fact that he raped his wife is true.." no does mean no - even in a marriage"
The "which really stinks" was a joke.
Sorry to offend all. Probably shouldn't have run it all together.
The last part about Cinemax etc was also a joke. Basically implying that if a spouse doesn't want to have sex, the other should "pout", "throw guilt trips," etc. Not rape their spouse.
Fact is, no telling what really happened. Kind of suprised that you guys read it that way.
