Sherrone Moore Takes Misdemeanor Plea as Ex-Assistant Calls for Michigan Accountability

Her public statement puts Michigan's oversight under scrutiny.

Overview

  • On March 6, the former Michigan coach pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors — malicious use of a telecommunications device in a domestic context and trespass — as prosecutors dismissed a felony home invasion charge and two other misdemeanors.
  • Sentencing is set for April 14, and multiple outlets report he is not expected to receive jail time.
  • Paige Shiver, 32, publicly identified herself as Moore’s former executive assistant and, through her attorneys, alleged years of manipulation, harassment and exploitation driven by a coercive power imbalance.
  • Shiver and her lawyers urged university leaders to accept accountability as Jenner & Block’s independent review of the athletic department continues, with invoices showing about $2 million paid so far, and they said civil options are being explored.
  • Prosecutors say Moore entered Shiver’s apartment after his firing and handled kitchen utensils while threatening self-harm; the university confirmed her contract was not renewed and she is no longer employed.
