Sherrone Moore Sentenced to 18 Months’ Probation, Avoids Jail

The sentence reflects a plea deal reducing earlier charges after his firing over an inappropriate relationship.

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.
