Sherrrone Moore was fired as the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines football program on December 10 after the University determined that he had been in what it deemed an “inappropriate relationship” with a female staffer.
After his firing, Moore was accused of confronting the woman in question, Paige Shiver, at her residence, which led to him initially facing charges, including a felony, third-degree home invasion, which had a possibility of resulting in jail time.
Ultimately, the former Michigan head coach was sentenced to 18 months of probation and was ordered by Honorable J. Cedric Simpson to pay around $1,000 in fines on Tuesday.
For her part, Shiver was not satisfied with Moore’s final sentencing.
“December 10th was the most terrifying day of my life,” Shiver said in a statement, via the New York Post.
“The criminal acts he committed were extremely frightening and violent. He broke into my apartment, crying, yelling, enraged and came at me with knives. I was threatened, and I feared for my life.
“Today’s sentence does not reflect the harm done to me or the objective evidence in this case.”
Before exiting the Washtenaw County courthouse, Moore thanked his wife, Kelli, for her support throughout the process and assured Simpson that he took the process “very seriously.”
