Overview

  • Moore was released on a $25,000 cash surety bond with no-contact and GPS tether conditions, and a probable-cause conference is set for January 22.
  • Prosecutors say he entered the woman’s residence and threatened self-harm with butter knives and scissors; he faces one felony home-invasion charge and two misdemeanors for stalking and breaking and entering.
  • ESPN and others report Michigan has engaged Jenner & Block to review department culture and the process that led to Moore’s firing for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
  • USA TODAY notes the Board of Regents met with athletic director Warde Manuel as scrutiny grows over a series of recent scandals and as questions about departmental leadership persist.
  • An OutKick story alleging Moore offered OnlyFans models season tickets for a sexual encounter was later disavowed by model Mia Sorety, who called it a misunderstanding involving a former assistant.
