Paige Shiver says Sherrone Moore should have gone to jail, Michigan didn't protect her

“Oh my gosh, yes," Shiver added when asked if she feared for her life. "He’s 6-4 and he comes in with his hood up, looking down at me saying I ruined his life, crying, and it’s like, and he starts coming at me, and I tell him to leave and he’s not supposed to be here, he’s not listening to me, then he starts grabbing butter knives.”

On April 14, Moore was sentenced to 18 months of probation. He can have no contact with Shiver. He must also pay court fines totaling over $1,000 and continue mental health treatment, in addition to no use of alcohol or recreational marijuana.

After the sentencing, Shiver's attorneys said in a written statement from her the punishment did not "reflect the harm done to me or the objective evidence in this case."

“Yes," Shiver said when asked if she thought Moore should be in jail. "I think he should have gotten more punishment for what he did.”

Shiver is no longer employed by the university, as Michigan football program spokesman Dave Ablauf said her contract expired and was not renewed. Her contract expired on Feb. 28, 2026, according to a copy of her personnel file obtained by the Detroit Free Press through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Shiver was asked if she felt Michigan "had a moral obligation" to protect her: “Yes, he controlled everything that was going on in my life and they didn’t do anything about it," she answered.

During their nearly four-year relationship, Shiver got pregnant, but the pregnancy was complicated by Pompe disease.

“Multiple doctors and experts told me that it wouldn’t be right or healthy for me to keep the baby," Shiver told GMA.

Asked if she wanted to keep the baby, Shiver said, “Yeah,” through tears.

She was asked how Moore responded to the pregnancy: “He said, you have to do what’s right for your body.”

Shiver said through her lawyers that Moore used his platform to harass her for multiple years, according to the Detroit Free Press on March 9.

"This case is about far more than one terrifying incident," the statement read from Andrew M. Stroth and Steven A. Hart, two Chicago-based lawyers. "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."

Stroth said in an interview on Saturday, March 7, that Shiver hired him and Hart months ago, and they only spoke publicly for the first time due to Moore's criminal case concluding. They called out "systemic failures" in Michigan's athletic department.

"The University of Michigan is one of the most well-regarded institutions in the world, yet they have an athletic department that has a pattern and practice of systemic failures," Stroth said. "Our pursuit on behalf of Ms. Shiver is to get some level of accountability and justice so this doesn’t happen to other individuals."
