(Newswire.net — August 22, 2015) — Georgetown, Del. — Former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader Molly Shattuck, 48, was sentenced Friday to two years of probation, after pleading guilty to raping a 15-year-old boy at a vacation rental home in Delaware, and distributing alcohol to a minor, FOX News reported.

Judge E. Scott Bradley sentenced Shattuck, the mother of three, to the maximum 15-year prison. However, he reduced the sentence to two-years probation, during which Shattuck needs to report every other weekend to a secure probation center.

According to the sentence guidelines, Shattuck have to register as a sex offender, continue therapy and undergo sex disorder counseling. In addition, she must bear the costs of the victim’s therapy and pay $10,650 restitution to his parents, which are not satisfied with the punishment.

“What she did to my son is heinous. … She stole his innocence,” victim’s mother told FOX News. According to her, her son has become somber and untrusting of others.

Aggravated parents, wanted to see Shattuck behind bars. According to victim’s father, they [family] cannot understand what kind of family Shattuck is since it was the former cheerleader’s son, same age as the victim, who sent message “Call my mom. She thinks you’re hot.”

Reportedly, Shattuck saw the photos of her son’s classmate at the McDonogh School in Owings Mills, Maryland, and according to her son, becomes obsessed with him. After her son provided her with a phone number, she engaged in the “inappropriate relationship.”

The prosecutor John Donahue, who argued for prison time for Shattuck, said “She groomed him, seduced him, supplied him with alcohol, then took advantage of him, all for her own gratification.”

Defense attorney Eugene Maurer, however, asked for leniency, saying Shattuck have had struggles throughout her life, after her former husband left her for a younger woman, which was a “pretty devastating blow to her psyche.”

“I take full responsibility for what I did. I never, ever, ever intended, obviously, to hurt anybody,” she said. “I will spend the rest of my life making this right.”

Witnesses, who testified of Shattuck’s character, said she is a “caring, empathetic, good and decent person.”
