Rape is a serious offense, but if you are a woman with blonde hair, you can sometimes stretch your punishment out over a few weekend stints in your local jail.
On Friday, former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader Molly Shattuck received a 15-year suspended prison sentence for the rape of a teenage boy she met on Instagram.
Shattuck pleaded guilty to fourth-degree rape in June, admitting that she performed a sex act on a 15-year-old boy at a beach house in Delaware last Labor Day.
The 47-year-old divorcee, apologized in a packed courtroom.
“Mrs. Shattuck is extremely sorry for any pain and all pain she may have caused. She is determined to demonstrate, at this point, to all involved her sorrow, her remorse and full acceptance of responsibility for any poor decisions she made,” defense attorney Michelle Lipkowitz said.
Shattuck pleaded for forgiveness, telling the judge: “I take full responsibility for what I did. I never intended to hurt anybody. I will spend the rest of my life making this right.”
Shattuck must also pay the boy’s family $10,000 and register as a sex offender for the next 20 years.
