Indicted Ex-Ravens Cheerleader Shattuck Finalizes Divorce
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Fallout from the Molly Shattuck sex scandal. Her powerful ex-husband is speaking out. WJZ has spent weeks investigating the allegations of an inappropriate relationship between Molly Shattuck and a teenage boy.
Investigator Mike Hellgren has more on how the case spread through--and rattled--an elite local community.
The fallout came fast for former Ravens cheerleader Molly Shattuck, just one day after WJZ first told you about her indictment, including charges of third-degree rape that carry a possible 25-year prison sentence.
WJZ spent weeks looking into the allegations that she had an inappropriate sexual relationship with her son's 15-year-old classmate.

Her now ex-husband, the powerful multi-millionaire Mayo Shattuck who's executive chairman at Exelon Corporation, confirmed their split in a new statement.
A family spokesman told WJZ: "Mr. Shattuck is shocked and saddened about the allegations against his ex-wife, from whom he is divorced. He is focused on the care and welfare of his children, who are with him, and is deeply concerned about others affected by this."
The search warrant, first obtained by WJZ, outlines how she met the boy on Instagram. In it, police say they had intimate encounters in Bethany Beach, Delaware, where she is charged.
Authorities in Howard county and in Baltimore County, where other alleged offenses took place, say they have no plans to prosecute at this time.
Both Shattuck's son and the victim went to the McDonogh School in Owings Mills. Molly Shattuck was banned from campus in September and the rumors have spread like wildfire ever since.
For days, Shattuck's website has been down, her Facebook page is gone and she hasn't posted a message on Twitter since October 24. The victim's Instagram account is now private.
But sources say stories about the pair were passed around among students in the close-knit private school community, then parents found out, and now, it's making headlines nationwide.
Lawyer John Wilkinson says there is often a double standard because the alleged victim is male.
"This isn't a locker room situation and a high-five to a young, 15-year-old boy," said Wilkinson. "We have to be careful and we have to take these crimes seriously."
Molly Shattuck has resigned her positions on various nonprofit charity boards. She has pleaded not guilty.
