Baltimore County State's Attorney Not Criminally Charging Former Ravens Cheerleader

The former Ravens cheerleader who admitted to sex acts with a 15-year-old boy will not be charged in Baltimore County, according to a statement from the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Molly Shattuck, 48, of Roland Park, was sentenced Aug. 21 to serve every other weekend at a Delaware correctional facility for 48 weekends; pay $10,650 in restitution to the victim’s family; and attend therapy for fourth-degree rape. She has registered as a sex offender in Maryland and Delaware.

The case was tried in Delaware because Delaware State Police said Shattuck was involved in a sexual encounter with the victim during Labor Day weekend last year at a rental house in Bethany Beach, Del.

Given the fact that their relationship began in Baltimore County, authorities had jurisdiction to open an additional case against Shattuck in Maryland.

Shattuck and the boy met over Instagram in May and had their first physical contact in the back of her car in a Mount Airy parking lot, according to WBAL. The relationship continued through the summer of 2014, when Shattuck would pick the victim up from summer school at McDonogh in Owings Mills and drive to the T. Rowe Price parking garage, where they would make out, WJZ reported.

“After careful consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances including the nature of the allegations of what occurred in Baltimore County, as well as the recently concluded prosecution in Delaware, this office has decided not to pursue criminal charges,” the Baltimore County state’s attorney’s office said Friday in a statement.

The full text of the statement is at the end of the article. In it, the state’s attorney reports that its staff consulted with the family of the victim.

The investigation into Shattuck began nearly a year ago when staff at the McDonogh School learned of the reported child sex abuse and reported it to the Baltimore County Police Department. Shattuck has three children, including a son who was an acquaintance of the victim. All reportedly attend McDonogh School, where Shattuck has since been banned by the administration.

Shattuck is a former Ravens cheerleader who gained fame for being the oldest cheerleader in the NFL at 38 years old, in 2005. She retired after two years and coached for six, according to the Daily Beast. She became well-known for her outgoing personality and healthy lifestyle, which spawned the book Vibrant Living. Since charges were brought against her last fall, the socialite has stepped out of the public eye, including taking down her website.

Full statement issued Sept. 4 by the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office:

“The Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office has re-examined the potential criminal charges involving Molly Shattuck. The case was fully investigated by the Baltimore County Police Department. This office has had the opportunity to speak with a representative of the victim’s family. After careful consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances including the nature of the allegations of what occurred in Baltimore County, as well as the recently concluded prosecution in Delaware, this Office has decided not to pursue criminal charges. The Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office will have no further comment on this matter.”
