Overview
- Judge J. Cedric Simpson sentenced Moore on Tuesday to 18 months of probation with random alcohol and drug testing, continued mental‑health treatment, a ban on weapons, and no contact with the woman.
- Moore pleaded no contest in March to two misdemeanors—malicious use of a telecommunications device in a domestic relationship and trespassing—while felony home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering charges were dismissed under the deal.
- Hours after his Dec. 10 firing, police say Moore entered his executive assistant Paige Shiver’s apartment, grabbed butter knives and kitchen scissors, and threatened to harm himself before leaving.
- In explaining the decision, the judge said the facts did not call for incarceration and admonished Moore for “spreading your pain,” noting a letter from Moore’s wife influenced the choice to impose probation.
- An outside Jenner & Block review of Michigan’s athletic department continues, and Shiver’s lawyers have signaled possible civil action that could test the school’s oversight and workplace protections.
