The 47-year-old mother of three and prominent philanthropist is accused of giving alcohol to the boy, her son's classmate, and performing oral sex on him at a Delaware beach house, according to an affidavit for a search warrant filed in Baltimore County District Court.
Shattuck was arraigned Wednesday morning in Delaware and released on $84,000 bond.
Shattuck, through her attorney, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Shattuck and her husband, the former CEO of Constellation Energy, filed for divorce in September.
According to the affidavit, the boy — a student at the McDonogh School in Baltimore — told police that Shattuck began a flirtation with him on the social networking site Instagram in May.
The Baltimore Sun does not name alleged victims of sexual crimes.
The McDonogh School issued a statement Wednesday saying administrators contacted police in late September as soon as they learned about allegations involving a student and a parent of another student.
"The safety and well-being of our students is our greatest priority at all times," headmaster Charles W. Britton wrote to parents of McDonogh students in an email Wednesday. The letter did not name the parent.
Shattuck, a fitness guru who was once the oldest cheerleader in the history of the NFL, began sending provocative messages to the boy in the spring saying, "we would have fun together," according to the affidavit.
The two met in a movie theater and middle school parking lot in Howard County where they kissed and had sexual contact, according to the affidavit.
In the summer, she would pick up the boy during his lunch breaks from a class and drive him to a the parking garage of the T. Rowe Price building where they would "get in the back of the car and kiss or 'make out,'" according to the affidavit.
Over Labor Day weekend, the boy accompanied Shattuck and her three children — who range in age from 15 to 11 — and their friends to a Bethany Beach rental home, according to the affidavit.
Shattuck assured the boy's father that "there was no alcohol or drugs at the residence and she was the only adult," according to the affidavit.
However, she shared wine with the alleged victim while he played "music and games" with the other boys, according to the affidavit.
Around 2 a.m., Shattuck left the younger children sleeping in the rental home and took the alleged victim and other teenagers to a liquor store, the affidavit states. There, she purchased Miller Lite and Bud Light for them, according to the affidavit.
Back at the house, according to the affidavit, Shattuck then asked the alleged victim to help her walk the dog. Once they got outside, she began kissing him and fondling him, then performed oral sex on him, according to the affidavit.
The boy then went up to a rooftop deck, where he, Shattuck, and the other teenagers drank alcohol.
Shattuck then "came up and said that 1/8the alleged victim3/8 needs to go to bed," according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, the boy then went into Shattuck's bedroom. She stripped down to her underwear, performed oral sex on him again and told him she would be willing to have intercourse. He decided to leave.
The boy's father picked him up later in the morning, and the boy has not had contact with Shattuck since the incident, according to the affidavit.
According to the letter from the headmaster of the McDonogh School, he learned of allegations against a parent on Sept. 24. Headmaster Britton said in the letter that he immediately reported the allegations to Baltimore County Police.
"I want you to know that the parent has been prohibited from entering McDonogh's campus," he wrote, "and additional security measures have been in place to assure the safety of our students since the incident was reported."
Delaware authorities said in a statement that Baltimore County Police contacted them on Sept. 26 to report that the 15-year-old had said he had an inappropriate relationship with a woman later identified as Shattuck.
Delaware State Police searched Shattuck's Roland Park home on Oct. 1, seizing items they identified as "pertinent to the investigation." They would not reveal what was taken.
Shattuck, who has not returned calls for comment, is in the midst of divorce proceedings.
Shattuck grew up in the small manufacturing town of Kittanning, Pa., about 50 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. She was captain of the varsity cheerleading team and voted most popular in high school. She then graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 1989, where she majored in marketing.
She met her future husband in the mid 1990s when she was working in marketing at Alex. Brown. At the time, Mayo Shattuck was president and chief operating officer of the investment bank. Shattuck and his first wife, Jennifer, with whom he had two children, divorced in 1995. Molly and Mayo were married in 1997.
Shattuck became the oldest cheerleader in NFL history when she joined the Ravens squad at age 38 in 2005. Her then-husband had been deeply involved in the sale of a minority ownership position in the team about five years earlier.
The couple purchased a sprawling home in North Baltimore, which is where Molly Shattuck still resides. In addition to fundraising work for groups like the United Way of Central Maryland and Baltimore School for the Arts, Shattuck has gotten into the fitness business.
In 2011 she launched a website and exercise video called Molly Shattuck Vibrant Living. In March 2014 she released her first book, also titled "Molly Shattuck Vibrant Living," which offers a 21-day plan to "transform your body, burst with energy, and live your life with purpose."
She also appeared, with her mother, Joan George, in a 2008 episode of the Fox reality show "Secret Millionaire." Shattuck and George posed as low-wage workers in a Pennsylvania mining town, got to know a few people who were in need, then gave away close to $200,000 to those they had met.
In 2005 she told the Sun that she didn't have a serious boyfriend in high school and skipped the senior prom to hike in the Grand Canyon. She had seen other girls in her town marry young and never leave the town. "I guess I was focused on other things," she said in the profile. "I knew I was going to leave. I knew I was going to see the world."
