Sherrone Moore Takes No-Contest Plea as Accuser Goes Public, Pressing Michigan for Accountability

Her first public statement presses the university for accountability.

Overview

  • On March 6, the former Michigan coach pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors — malicious use of a telecommunications service in a domestic context and trespass — as prosecutors dismissed a felony home invasion count and two other misdemeanors.
  • Sentencing is scheduled for April 14, and prosecutors and reports indicate jail time is not expected.
  • Former executive assistant Paige Shiver identified herself and, through attorneys, alleged years of manipulation, harassment and exploitation by Moore, suggesting others may have been affected.
  • Shiver’s lawyers urged university leaders to ensure accountability and a transparent inquiry as Jenner & Block’s independent review of the athletic department continues, with invoices totaling about $2 million so far.
  • Shiver is no longer employed at the university after her contract was not renewed in late February, and her attorneys say they are exploring civil options.
