Sherrone Moore's Alleged Mistress Is Not Happy With Judge's Ruling

Despite being at the center of a very disturbing situation, former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore avoided jail time.

Moore was fired by Michigan on Dec. 10 after the university was made aware of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. He then showed up to the woman's house and allegedly "came at her with knives." The authorities arrested Moore for third-degree home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering.

It was reported in March that Moore pleaded no guilty to trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device. This was part of a plea deal to drop his felony charge.

District Court Judge Cedric Simpson announced on Tuesday that Moore has been sentenced to 18 months' probation and fined just over $1,000.

"Frankly, Mr. Moore, you had no right to do what you did," Judge Simpson said. "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."

Paige Shiver, the staff member who was involved in a relationship with Moore, wasn't pleased with this probation sentence.

"Today's sentence does not reflect the harm done to me or the objective evidence in this case," Shiver's attorneys told People. "December 10th was the most terrifying day of my life," Shiver said. "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."

Shiver's legal team also took aim at the University of Michigan this Wednesday.

"The University enabled Moore and others in positions of authority within the Athletic Department, fostered the ongoing and escalating abuse, and advanced a culture that cared not about the hostile environment but instead was focused only on winning football games," her attorneys alleged.

Sherrone Moore's wife played a significant role in all of this.

It was revealed in court Tuesday that Judge Simpson was moved by the endless support Moore received from his wife Kelli.

"The person who is saving you from the full wrath of this court is the person who you betrayed," Simpson said, via ESPN. "When all of the circumstances are happening to her, and she is absorbing them in real time, she not once loses her focus, not once bats an eye to doubt you, not once wants something terrible to happen to you. As I listened to the terror in her voice that day, I don't think there would be anybody in the world who would have blamed her from saying, 'I am done here.' I am amazed by you, Ms. Moore. I don't know where it comes from. If we had more people like you in the world, I may be out of a job, but the world would be a better place."

Moore and his wife have three children together. It doesn't sound like they're parting ways anytime soon.
