Key Points:
- Sherrone Moore, former Michigan football coach, was fired due to an extramarital affair with his ex-assistant Paige Shiver and avoided jail time after pleading no contest to misdemeanors related to trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device.
- Moore received 18 months probation, was fined about $1,000, ordered to avoid contact with Shiver, abstain from drugs and alcohol, and is prohibited from possessing firearms.
- The court hearing revealed that a letter from Moore’s wife, Kelli, influenced the judge’s decision to avoid harsher penalties, with the judge praising her for her support despite the betrayal.
- Moore had previously faced more serious charges, including stalking and home invasion, which could have resulted in up to five years in prison; prosecutors accused him of flooding Shiver’s phone with calls and texts.
- After his firing, Moore allegedly threatened self-harm at Shiver’s home, causing her to fear for her life; he is currently undergoing therapy and shares three children with his wife.
