Attorneys for Paige Shiver, the former executive assistant of ex-Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore and his alleged mistress, released a statement after his no-contest plea that dropped some charges against him this past Friday. 

The Action Injury Law Group’s statement, obtained by Fox News Channel, claimed Shiver endured “years of manipulation, harassment, and exploitation by a man who held enormous power over her professional life as the head football coach of one of the nation’s most prominent college football programs.”

The statement also accused Moore of creating an environment where Shiver “felt pressured, intimated and unable to escape conduct that should never occur in any workplace – let alone at a public university.”

The Chicago-based law group’s statement was first reported by the Detroit News.

Moore was facing charges of stalking, breaking and entering and home invasion of the apartment of Shiver, where authorities said he broke in to confront his alleged mistress to blame her for his dismissal. He even threatened to kill himself with butter knives in the apartment. 

FIRED MICHIGAN COACH SHERRONE MOORE REACHES PLEA DEAL IN CASE OVER ALLEGED BREAK-IN AT MISTRESS’S HOME

Moore struck a no-contest plea deal the same day a judge planned to hear a challenge to Moore’s arrest in December 2025, including felony home invasion. Those previous charges were dropped in exchange for the no-contest plea to misdemeanor trespassing and misdemeanor malicious use of a telecommunications device. 

“Today’s no-contest plea in the criminal trespassing case involving disgraced former University of Michigan head football coach Sheronne Moore represents a critical moment of acknowledgment and accountability following a frightening and deeply disturbing incident,” the Action Injury Law Group’s statement began. “Not surprisingly, Sheronne Moore’s no-contest plea was entered a mere days following press reports alleging his failure to report sexual assault allegations against former Michigan assistant coach LaTroy Lewis.

“With the resolution of Mr. Moore’s criminal legal proceedings today, all eyes are now squarely focused on the University of Michigan, Interim President Domenico Grasso, President-Elect Kent Syverud, General Counsel Tim Lynch, and the Board of Regents to see whether they take the swift and decisive action needed to make amends for the University’s painful missteps and to restore a genuine sense of trust and respect among its employees, students, and alums.”

Shiver’s attorneys questioned Michigan’s athletic program as a whole following the incident, adding that their client believes “she may not be the only person who experienced inappropriate, coercive, or predatory behavior from this individual.”

“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,” the statement read. 

“Accountability does not end with a single criminal case. It requires truth, transparency, and a commitment to ensuring that no one in a position of authority is ever permitted to abuse their power again. Our client is continuing the difficult process of healing. She remains grateful for the support she has received and hopes that her decision to come forward will help protect others in the future.”

Moore’s sentencing is scheduled for April 14 for his new charges, which have a potential maximum sentence of six months and 30 days in prison.

“All the charges against Mr. Moore were not supported by facts and law,” said Moore’s attorney Ellen Michaels, standing alongside him and his wife, Kelli, outside the courtroom last week. “The dismissal of those charges validates the concerns we raised about the investigation from the very beginning. Mr. Moore is pleased to put this behind him and move forward.

“It’s not stalking if the communication has a legitimate purpose.”

Moore was fired on Dec. 10, 2025 after two seasons running Michigan’s football program following Jim Harbaugh’s return to the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers. The university cited an inappropriate relationship with a staff member as the reason for his firing, with Shiver ending the affair with Moore a few days before his firing, while cooperating with Michigan’s investigation.

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska and men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg have agreed to a three-year contract extension after he guided the Cornhuskers to a school-record 15 wins in Big Ten Conference play.

The school announced the deal Monday, days before the league tournament begins with Nebraska as the No. 2 seed. Hoiberg is now under contract through the 2031-32 season. He previously signed a two-year extension in 2024.

“Fred has built this program step by step, and his leadership has Nebraska positioned to continue to compete at a high level in the Big Ten Conference and nationally,” athletic director Troy Dannen said in a statement. “Fred is one of the most respected coaches in the country by his peers, and his success has been recognized throughout the college basketball world.”

The Huskers, who have won 20-plus games in three consecutive seasons for the first time in school history, enter the Big Ten Tournament with a 26-5 record. The team reached a program-best No. 5 national ranking in January.

“We have a long family history with the University of Nebraska, and the support we have received over the last seven years is truly remarkable,” Hoiberg said. “We are blessed with world-class facilities, but the people are what make Nebraska special. Our goal is to continue building a program that our fans can embrace and have pride in because it represents the values of Nebraska.”

Darron Lee, the New York Jets’ former first-round pick, allegedly consulted ChatGPT about how to “cover up” the murder of his ex-partner, who he allegedly stabbed to death last month. 

Prosecutors said Lee, 31, allegedly tried to use AI to help carry out the brutal murder of Gabriella Carvalho Perpétuo, who was found dead in a home in Ooltewah, Tennessee, during a preliminary hearing on Monday, per WCTV.

Prosecutors read aloud the prompt that Lee allegedly sent to ChatGPT.

“Don’t know what to do right now,” he allegedly wrote to the chat bots. “Fiancée did her crazy thing again and now she’s messed up, I wake up and she has two swollen eyes (I didn’t do anything, self inflicted) she stabbed herself, slit her eye? Idk but she isn’t waking up or responding, what do I do?”

The chat bot responded, saying, “Got it. Here’s exactly what [redacted] is the safest way to handle it without framing it as “police trouble,” according to WDEF.

JUDGE ORDERS EX-NFL PLAYER DARRON LEE HELD WITHOUT BOND AS PROSECUTORS WEIGH DEATH PENALTY

Lee continued the conversation with ChatGPT, asking if someone who has slipped and fell could suffer “puncture wounds.”

“Yeah – it can happen**, but there’s [redacted] to make,” the bot responded. “Can a slip-and-fall cause puncture wounds? Yes, but usually only under specific conditions?”

District Attorney Coty Wamp said to the court that Lee was using ChatGPT as a “legal adviser,” having “dozens of conversations” over a two-day span where he detailed what he allegedly did.

“He asks how to cover it up. He asks what to say to 911,” Wamp added. 

Judges ordered Lee be held without bond last month, as he faces a first-degree murder charge in this case. He also faces a charge of tampering with or fabricating evidence. 

Wamp made it clear last month that there was no final decision concerning the pursuit of the death penalty, but he did cite factors that could result in the case becoming eligible for capital punishment. 

“Mr. Lee was in a home with a female (who) was, for lack of a better term, beaten to death,” Wamp said in court last month, arguing for the judge to withhold bond. “And the explanation that he gave doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office Det. Brian Lockhart detailed the home they found Perpétuo in.

“A lot of stuff in the living room. The deceased was in the floor lying on her back. There was blood going up the staircase. On the hand railing there was blood. On the walls, there was blood. On the floor in the living room there was blood. On the floor in the hallway and the stairs.”

The detective added that he was present during the autopsy, which found the potential cause of death was blunt force trauma homicide.

Authorities carrying out a search warrant found multiple types of trauma to the woman’s body, including a stab wound to her abdomen, an apparent human bite mark on her shoulder, a large bruise on her head, black eyes with heavy swelling and dried blood on her face and neck, according to the affidavit.

Lee was taken in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Jets, who played three seasons at linebacker following his time at Ohio State. He would later play with the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
