In the end, it was the person that former Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore probably hurt the most that saved him from his worst fate.
Judge Cedric Simpson sentenced Moore to 18 months of probation and no jail time on 2 misdemeanor charges of malicious use of a telecommunications device involving a domestic relationship and trespassing on Tuesday.
Moore was arrested in December 2025 on felony home invasion, stalking, and illegal entry charges after he went to the home of Michigan football staffer Paige Shiver following the school’s discovery of their affair, which led to Moore being fired.
Judge Simpson cited Moore’s wife, Kelli, as the reason he was showing Mercy in sentencing and cited a letter she wrote the court as having the “biggest impact” on the sentencing decision.
Moore agreed to plea no contest in a plea deal that saw the felony charges dismissed.
“You , sir, take her for granted,” Judge Simpson told Moore.
Judge Simpson said the letter Kelli Moore wrote the court had the “biggest impact” on the punishment to hand down to Sherrone Moore. “You sir, take her for granted,” Simpson said to Moore.
Moore was also ordered not to use alcohol or marijuana and to continue receiving mental health treatment. He was also ordered not to have any possession of weapons and to have no contact with Shiver.
“Moore sentenced to 18 months probation, no jail time,” ESPN’s Dan Wetzel wrote on his official X account. “Judge said the facts of the case didn’t warrant incarceration, however concerning the incident, he stated: ‘Frankly Mr. Moore, you had no right to do what you did. I know she was placed in fear. It was a traumatic experience for you, it was certainly a traumatic experience for her. But you had no right to spread your pain to her.’ “
