Paige Shiver reveals pregnancy with ex-Michigan coach Sherrone Moore

Ex-Michigan coach Sherrone Moore gets probation; defense responds

Sherrone Moore was sentenced to 18 months probation after pleading no contest to malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing. Authorities said Moore broke into his ex-girlfriend's home after he was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with her. Judge Cedric Simpson said the decision to sentence Moore to probation was due in part, to the character letters written by his wife, Kelli.

Paige Shiver, the former assistant of ex-University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore, spoke out on ABC News following Moore’s recent sentencing earlier this month.

Shiver detailed her pregnancy and inappropriate relationship with Moore during an emotional interview which aired on Good Morning America on Friday.

Shiver’s complicated pregnancy

Dig deeper:

Shiver spoke on how she had become pregnant with Moore’s child, but ended up terminating it due to complications from Pompe disease.

Pompe disease is a rare disease that causes skeletal muscle weakness which can lead to heart, mobility and respiratory issues, according to the Rare Diseases website.

Shiver said she intended to keep the child before doctors told her of the rare genetic disorder. 

Moore allegedly knew about the pregnancy and termination, Shiver told ABC.

Shiver added that Moore and other head coaches had power over her job security.

What they're saying:

"Especially him (Moore), he could fire me in a second," she said. 

Sherrone Moore sentenced to probation

The backstory: Moore was sentenced to 18 months probation on April 14 after he reached a plea deal to two misdemeanors to resolve felony criminal cases.

Moore pleaded no contest to malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing after authorities say he broke into his ex-girlfriend's home after his firing. Both charges are misdemeanors.

Moore, 39, was fired by athletic director Warde Manuel in December after the school said it found that he had engaged in "an inappropriate relationship with a staff member." 

He was arrested later after allegedly breaking into Shiver’s apartment and threatening to kill himself in front of her.
