The New York Times • • sports
Key Points:
- Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing, with felony and other misdemeanor charges dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
- The charges stemmed from an incident on December 10, the day Moore was fired amid allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, Paige Shiver, who was publicly identified by her lawyers following the plea.
- Moore’s lawyer argued that police omitted key information, including the professional relationship between Moore and Shiver, when obtaining the arrest warrant; the judge ordered removal of Moore’s GPS tether and scheduled sentencing for April 14.
- Shiver’s lawyers called for a thorough investigation into Moore’s conduct and institutional failures at the University of Michigan
