A former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader and ex-wife of a prominent Maryland energy executive has agreed to enter a guilty plea after being charged with having sex with a 15-year-old boy.
Forty-eight-year-old Molly Shattuck was scheduled to enter the plea before a Delaware judge Tuesday afternoon, days before her trial was to begin. Details of the plea agreement were not immediately available.
Shattuck was indicted last year on two counts of third-degree rape, four counts of unlawful sexual contact and three counts of providing alcohol to minors. She initially pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Authorities say that Shattuck began an inappropriate relationship with the boy in Maryland and that the two engaged in sexual activity at a vacation rental home in Bethany Beach, Delaware, over Labor Day weekend.
