A former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader was [charged](http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/05/justice/ex-baltimore-ravens-cheerleader-arrested/index.html?hpt=hp%5Ft2 "undefined") Wednesday with [raping](http://www.wbal.com/article/110772/2/molly-shattuck-accused-of-having-sex-with-a-15-year-old-boy "undefined") a 15-year-old boy.

Molly Shattuck, 47, pleaded not guilty to nine counts including rape, unlawful sexual contact and providing alcohol to minors, WBAL in Baltimore reports. She was released after posting $84,000 bail. She allegedly had sexual relations with the boy over Labor Day weekend in a vacation rental home in Bethany Beach, Del.

Shattuck was 38 when she joined the Baltimore Ravens cheerleading squad in 2005, making her the oldest cheerleader in the NFL.

“This is a difficult situation for everyone involved,” Shattuck’s lawyer said.
