Former Ravens Cheerleader Charged With Rape of Teen

A former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader and mother of three has been arrested and accused of having a sexual relationship in Delaware with a 15-year-old boy who attended the same school as her children.

Molly Shattuck, 47, who was the oldest professional cheerleader in the NFL before retiring to raise her children, now faces two counts of third-degree rape, four counts of unlawful sexual contact and three counts of providing alcohol to minors.

Shattuck reportedly began flirting with the 15-year-old via Instagram in May, four months before her millionaire husband, Mayo Shattuck, 60, filed for divorce, according to The Baltimore Sun, which cited a Baltimore County court affidavit.

According to the Delaware State Police, the relationship started in Baltimore where they both live but culminated in a rented Bethany Beach vacation home in Delaware.

The boy has not been identified because of his age and the nature of the charges. He contacted Baltimore police on Sept. 26 and the investigators then relayed that information to the Delaware State Police Major Crimes Unit. Baltimore County Court officials told ABC News the search warrant and affidavit for the case have been sealed in keeping with state law.

Police searched her Baltimore home on Oct. 1 and seized property related to the case, according to the Delaware State Police press release.

Court records showed her husband, who was the longtime chairman of a Baltimore-based energy company before switching to his current role of chairman of a Chicago-based energy corporation, filed for divorce two days before that search.

She was indicted by a Sussex County Grand Jury in Delaware on Monday Nov. 3 and released on bond this morning.

Both the boy involved in the case and Shattuck's 15-year-old son attend McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Maryland, and the headmaster of the school sent a letter home to parents today about the case. The headmaster's note asserted that the school learned about the "inappropriate behavior by a current parent" on Sept. 24 and it reached out to police.

"While I was instructed by the police not to communicate with you until now because of the criminal investigation, I want you to know that the parent has been prohibited from entering McDonogh's campus and additional security measures have been in place to assure the safety of students since the incident was reported," headmaster Charlie Britton wrote in the letter, according to the AP.

The suspect was something of a local celebrity in Baltimore after being added to the Ravens' cheer roster in 2005 following just one try out.

"Mayo called me and said, 'The auditions are on Saturday,'" she said of her application process as part of a 2012 interview with Baltimore Magazine titled "The Unsinkable Molly Shattuck." "I flew back, but I needed photos, and I didn't even own a bikini. Mayo took pictures of me in a bra and underwear. I was literally standing in our bathroom for them."

She appeared on an episode of ABC News' "20/20" in 2006 talking about the changing shape of motherhood, telling how her husband found her role sexy but she enjoyed being in front of 70,000 fans, as well.

"Like three seconds into it, it was like, 'My God, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever' - and the football game's going on, and he doesn't care," she told 20/20.

Shattuck was a member of the cheer squad for two years and worked as a coach for six more, according to the AP.

She also runs a lifestyle brand called Vibrant Living and appeared on an episode of "Secret Millionaire," in which she gave $190,000 to people helping the poor.

Shattuck has been released on a $84,000 bond, the AP reported. A call to Shattuck at her home and her cell phone were not immediately returned.
