Ex-Michigan Assistant's Abuse Allegations

It's April 24th.

This is California News Today, where local news meets AI.

Page Shiver, a former executive assistant for the University of Michigan football team,

just came forward about her nearly four-year relationship with ex-head coach Sherone Moore.

She says what began as consensual, turned manipulative, with more holding power over her

job and emotions.

It was an open secret in the athletics department, and Moore faced a rest last December for trespassing

at her place right after getting fired.

Shiver describes Moore promising divorce from his unhappy marriage, but whenever she tried

to leave, he threatened suicide or begged her to stay.

He was 40 years old, she was 32, and she felt completely trapped, especially since her

role tied directly to his position when he became head coach last year.

The breaking point came on December 10th, when Moore showed up at her apartment, blamed

her for his firing, and acted erratically, making her fear for her life.

He pleaded no contest to trespassing in telecom misuse charges, dodging a felony, and got

just 18 months probation this month.

Shiver also revealed she got pregnant in May of last year, amid the relationship, but had

to abort in July due to risks from her rare Pompey disease.

She denied the affair during a university HR interview last fall, distrusting the process

that seemed to shield Moore for years.

Now out of a job at Michigan, Shiver expresses deep disappointment in the light sentence

and lack of accountability, while the university probes for.

Any wider issues?
