Fired Coach Sherrone Moore, 39
Paige Shiver, the 32-year-old ex-football assistant who is at the center of former University of Michigan coach Sherrone Moore’s downfall, is faulting the school for failing to prevent Moore from using his power as her boss to manipulate, harass and exploit her for years, her lawyers said in a statement, according to the Detroit Free Press.
The Detroit Free Press reports that the lawyers — Chicago-based attorneys Andrew M. Stroth and Steven A. Hart — said in a statement:
"This case is about far more than one terrifying incident. It raises urgent and troubling questions about how a powerful figure within a major university athletic program was able to engage in years of inappropriate conduct toward a subordinate without meaningful intervention or oversight.
"Our client believes strongly that she may not be the only person who experienced inappropriate, coercive, or predatory behavior from this individual."
On Friday afternoon, Moore pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors: "malicious use of service provided by a telecommunications service provider" and trespassing. A no-contest plea means he accepts the conviction but does not admit guilt.
It's unlikely that he'll face jail time on the misdemeanors.
