Baltimore socialite and former Ravens cheerleader Molly Shattuck pleaded guilty to statutory rape Tuesday, admitting in a few brief words to an affair with a 15-year-old boy, a plea that leaves her branded as a felon and a sex offender.

Shattuck, 48, the former wife of the current chairman of energy provider Exelon, was accused in November of having a relationship with one of her son’s classmates, including performing oral sex on him in a rented vacation house in Bethany Beach. hattuck’s son allegedly forwarded his mother’s cell phone number to the boy, saying: ‘You should text my Mom, she is obsessed with you’

The 47-year-old and 15-year-old boy ‘met for make-out sessions in her Cadillac Escalade’

She allegedly performed oral sex on him at least twice over the Labor Day weekend after first plying him with beer.

She has been indicted on two counts of third-degree rape, four counts of unlawful sexual contact and three counts of providing alcohol to minors.

As part of the plea, Shattuck agreed to forgo any unsupervised contact with children, except her own, and to have DNA and HIV tests as well as a mental health evaluation that will include “sexual disorder counseling.”

The affair began in May 2014, when Shattuck began a flirtation with the boy,a McDonogh School student, on the social networking site Instagram, according to an affidavit for a search warrant filed in Baltimore County District Court.

Between their encounters, Shattuck asked for pictures via text message’ and he would send pictures of himself shirtless and one in his underwear, the victim told police.

For Labor Day weekend Shattuck took her children and some of their friends – including the victim – to stay at a rented beach house in Bethany Beach.

‘Sometime around 2am on Sunday morning, they drove to a liquor store and (Molly) Shattuck purchased a 12-pack of Miller Lite and a 12-pack of Bud Light for them,’ state the court documents.

Once back at the house, Shattuck is alleged to have performed oral sex on the boy at least twice – first outside the home while walking the dog and then again in her bedroom.

The documents state ‘(the boy) described the undergarments (Molly) Shattuck was wearing when he entered her bedroom.’

Shattuck is alleged to have told the boy ‘if he wanted to have sex she would. The boy opted out. He decided to leave. At that point, she told him to come back later but he did not go back.’

Just months before, Shattuck had sat for a Baltimore Sun interview that showed her confidently working through her separation with her husband and forging a new, independent identity. But the sexual abuse allegations left Shattuck’s carefully crafted image as a devoted mother and charity worker in tatters.

Her billionaire husband, Mayo Shattuck, was granted a divorce from her in November.

TheShattucks’ divorce, which ended a 17-year marriage,was finalized days after a nine-count indictment against herwas unsealed in November. Custody arrangements for their three children have not been publicized, butModicasaid her ex-husband could use the rape conviction as ammunition in any dispute.
