Molly Shattuck (born Molly A. George) is an American socialite and former wife of Mayo A. Shattuck III. She came to national prominence when she became the oldest cheerleader on record for the National Football League when she began cheering for the Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders at age 38.
Starting in 2014, Shattuck was the subject of international attention when a sex crimes case was opened against her for rape of a minor. In August 2015, she was determined guilty by a Delaware Court.
Shattuck was born Molly A. George and attended Ford City High School in Ford City, Pennsylvania. Before graduating in 1985, she was voted Homecoming Queen. After high school she went straight into the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, from where she graduated with a marketing degree.
In 1997, Shattuck married Mayo A. Shattuck III, millionaire CEO of Constellation Energy, as his second wife. The two had met while she was working at Alex. Brown & Sons as a marketing executive. When Shattuck first got pregnant, she suffered a miscarriage, followed by four more. Eventually, the Shattucks had three healthy children. The three, named Spencer, Wyatt, and Lillian, attended the "posh" private McDonogh School. While married to Mayo, Shattuck played the role of hostess and socialite within the Baltimore society scene.
The couple divorced in 2014 after documents were unsealed in November, revealing a nine count indictment against Shattuck.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Shattuck stated that she had wanted to be a cheerleader since she was in high school and had added "being an NFL cheerleader" onto her . In 2005, Shattuck tried out for the Baltimore Ravens Cheerleaders and made the team after lasting through all five cuts. In doing so, she became the oldest cheerleader in NFL history, a distinction she still holds to this day. At age 38, she was an average of 15 years older than the rest of her teammates and the only mother on the squad.
