Former NFL cheerleader Molly Shattuck must spend 48 weekends in a work-release program as part of her sentence for raping a 15-year-old boy. She will serve out that time in a work-release detention center in Delaware; Shattuck, 48, was sentenced today for committing the sexual offense. Shattuck apologized after pleading guilty in June to one count of fourth-degree rape, an offense that could have carried a maximum of 15 years. “I was the adult, and I’m sorry,” Shattuck said through years. “I never should have had the conversation with someone else’s son and I’m sorry.” “I will spend the rest of my life making this right.” Shattuck was arrested back in November 2014 on charges of third-degree rape, unlawful sexual contact and giving alcohol to minors. A plea deal later reduced the charge to a less serious offense. Police said she performed oral sex on the boy, last Labor Day weekend. Shattuck, according to court records, had connected with the boy through her teenage son , the same age as him, and via social media. Over the summer, police said in affidavits, Shattuck and the boy exchanged sexualized texts and emails, and met in parked cars. The mother and father of the victim asked Superior Court Judge E. Scott Bradley to sentence Shattuck to more than just probation. Bradley sentenced Shattuck to two years of level 3 probation, however, meaning 48 weeks of work-release and $10,650 in restitution. Shattuck must register in Delaware as a Tier II sex offender, and not contact anyone younger than 18 other than her own children. “The competing interests in this case are very difficult to weigh,” Bradley said, explaining his decision to hand down that punishment.
