00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Crime a art hourly update, breaking crime news Now, I'm

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: Nicole Parton. Former coach Sharon Moore appeared in the Michigan

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: courtroom on Thursday for a probable cause hearing. The former

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 1: college football coach faces serious allegations. Walked in hand in

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: hand with his wife, Kelly Moore, before guiding her to

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: a seat in the gallery and taking his place alongside

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: his attorney at the front of the courtroom. At thirty

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: nine years old, Moore remained silent as his lawyer, Ellen

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Michaels requested a thirty day postponement to collect more evidence.

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: She informed the judge that she was seeking the phone

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: records of the accuser and the Title nine documents from

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: Moore's former employer, the University of Michigan. I have the

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk with the prosecutor. There is outstanding discovery

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: that we need to have before we can proceed to exam.

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: So we're asking to adjourn the probable cause conference street

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: thirty days to receive that discovery discovery or about our

17
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: phone wreckers in Title nine documents. Michaels explained that these

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: records could include statements from Moore's accuser and other materials

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 1: that might undermine her credibility. The prosecution did not contest

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: the delay, and the hearing was rescheduled for March nineteen. Additionally,

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: a separate hearing on February seventeen will address emotion filed

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: by Daniels to nullify Moore's arrest warrant. As it stands,

23
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: the active warrant permits law enforcement to arrest him or

24
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: search his properties if there is probable cause, and that

25
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: would mean to revoke that authority. Moore was a ragin

26
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: last month on one felony charge and two misdemeanor counts,

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: third degree home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering. The

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: felony charge pertains to the home invasion, while stalking and

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: breaking and entering are classified as misdemeanors. These charges arose

30
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: after an incident on December ten, when Moore allegedly confronted

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: a staff member with whom he had a romantic relationship

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: at her home home, coinciding with the day he was

33
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: fired from the University of Michigan. According to court transcripts

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: from a previous hearing on December twelve, Moore allegedly refused

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: to leave the home until the woman contacted her attorney

36
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: Heidi Sharp. Sharp subsequently called nine to one one on

37
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: her client's behalf, informing them that quote Moore was inside

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: her client's home attacking her. Sharp also informed dispatch that

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Moore has been stalking her for months, and Detective Jessica

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: Welker of the Pittsfield Township Police Department testified that Sharp

41
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: claimed Moore had a history of domestic violence and posed

42
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: a significant danger. While Moore denied these allegations, he acknowledged

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: to police that he had been in a relationship with

44
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: the woman for two years, with the staff members saying

45
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: it was much longer. As per Welker's testimony, the staff

46
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: member indicated to officers that the relationship had ended on

47
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: December eighth, when she told Moore she had quote nothing

48
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: more to say to him over the file. Going two days,

49
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: more reportedly called and text her numerous times. Welcome recounted

50
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: that the staffer described Moore's unexpected arrival at her home

51
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: as quote traumatic, expressing I've never been more terrified in

52
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: my life. Moore was taken into custody at the Washingtonaw

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: Corrections Division on the evening of December ten. He was

54
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: released two days later after his initial court appearance thanks

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: to the bill posted by his wife, Kelly, with whom

56
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: he shares three children. In addition to his legal challenges,

57
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Moore is now without a job and has lost the

58
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: twelve point three million dollars guaranteed in his contract over

59
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: the next three years due to his termination for cause

60
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: by the university. Moore was let go for allegedly breaching

61
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty one policy at the University of Michigan

62
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: that strongly discourages romantic relationships between supervisor and their subordinates.

63
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: While the policy does not explicitly prohibit such relationships, it

64
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: mandates that supervisors cannot she ate them and must promptly

65
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: disclose them to their superiors to ensure a workplace free

66
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: from power abuse, cohercion, sexual harassment, and favoritism. It remains

67
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: uncertain whether More will contest this assessment from his employer.

68
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:23,880
