The case is being handled in Delaware because Shattuck was allegedly involved in a sexual encounter with a 15-year-old in Bethany Beach, police reported.

Delaware State Police said that the Baltimore County Police Department contacted its office Sept. 26 after a 15-year-old boy said he was “involved in an inappropriate relationship” with Shattuck that culminated during Labor Day weekend at a rental house in the beach town.

The boy was her son’s classmate at McDonogh School in Owings Mills, according to The Baltimore Sun.

Her attorney had previously said she was pleading not guilty and was “very distraught,” The Washington Post reported.

Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 18, and Shattuck faces up to 15 years in jail, according to The News Journal.
