Paige Shiver, the former executive assistant to Sherrone Moore, has broken her silence after the charges of home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering against him were dismissed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her first public comments, Shiver accused the University of Michigan<\/a> of failing to protect her from ‘years of manipulation, harassment, and exploitation.’<\/p>\n

The statement, released Monday by Action Injury Law Group, claims a power imbalance created an environment where she felt pressured and unable to escape.<\/p>\n

Her attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, told The Detroit News<\/a> that Moore ‘took advantage of a younger, female employee’ and that leadership failed to act for years.<\/p>\n

Shiver’s attorneys maintain that the ‘powerful head coach’ created an environment that should never occur at a prominent public university like Michigan.<\/p>\n

‘Institutions entrusted with the education and safety of students and employees have a fundamental duty to ensure that power is never used to exploit or silence others,’ the statement said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paige Shiver, the former executive assistant to Sherrone Moore, has broken her silence after the charges of home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering against him were dismissed<\/p>\n

\"Moore <\/p>\n

Moore was accused of breaking into the home of his former assistant Paige Shiver (pictured)<\/p>\n

‘A thorough and transparent investigation into this conduct – and any related institutional failures – must occur. Our client came forward at tremendous personal cost because she believes that silence allows abuse of power to continue.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stroth didn’t go into detail on the dynamics of the relationship, but said that because Moore was fired over the affair, it was clear it should never have happened.<\/p>\n

‘Leadership knew and failed to act to protect her,’ he said. ‘This isn’t something that happened overnight, it happened over a long period of time.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The explosive remarks follow a Friday hearing where Moore saw three felony counts dropped, including a home invasion charge with a five-year prison limit.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old instead pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges of trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device in a private relationship.<\/p>\n

While the plea could result in six months of jail time at his April 14 sentencing, Moore’s defense team expects the agreement to lead to no time behind bars.<\/p>\n

The controversy centers on an ‘inappropriate relationship’ that led to Moore’s firing and arrest in December following a harrowing 911 call from Shiver’s home.<\/p>\n

According to prosecutors, the incident began when Moore barged into Shiver’s apartment shortly after his termination, allegedly threatening her with knives.<\/p>\n

\"Moore's <\/p>\n

Moore’s attorney Ellen Michaels announced Friday that her client has accepted a plea deal<\/p>\n

Court transcripts revealed that Moore, a father of three, reportedly told his former mistress ‘my blood is on your hands’ after she tried to end the romance.<\/p>\n

Despite the shocking allegations, his attorney, Ellen Michaels, defended the plea deal, stating that ‘the system worked’ and that the felony charges were baseless.<\/p>\n

Michaels argued the initial arrest warrant relied on ‘glaring’ omissions by law enforcement, failing to note that Shiver was Moore’s employee at the time.<\/p>\n

Judge J. Cedric Simpson had previously suggested Moore’s due process might have been violated by an ‘intentional misdirection’ by police in the warrant.<\/p>\n

The defense claimed Shiver’s lawyers provided information to police to ‘villainize’ Moore and seek a settlement from the university’s ‘deep pockets.’<\/p>\n

‘It is in everyone’s best interests to just get this done,’ Michaels said after the hearing, noting Moore is ‘pleased to put this behind him and move forward.’<\/p>\n

Although she is now out of a job, school records show Shiver’s salary rose 70.6 percent over three seasons, from $58,025 in 2022 to $99,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n

Shiver is the daughter of Chicago Bears scout Jeff Shiver, who has appeared at Michigan games with his daughter throughout her tenure in Ann Arbor.<\/p>\n

\"Moore, <\/p>\n

Athletic Director Warde Manuel previously stated the relationship was a ‘clear violation’ of policy, leading to the hiring of veteran coach Kyle Whittingham.<\/p>\n

Despite the university’s ‘zero tolerance’ stance, Shiver’s representatives insist the institution had a duty to ensure power was never used to exploit others.<\/p>\n

The University of Michigan and Moore’s legal team have both declined to comment further following the release of Shiver’s statement on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

As Moore awaits his sentencing in April, the focus has shifted to a potentially widening investigation into the culture of the Michigan athletic department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paige Shiver, the former executive assistant to Sherrone Moore, has broken her silence after the charges of home…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514601,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[10203,98,399,398,396,397,1079,99],"class_list":["post-514600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-collegefoobtall","tag-dailymail","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sport","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514600"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514600\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514601"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
