Overview
- A police detective testified that the staffer’s lawyer told 911 operators Moore had a long history of domestic violence and that he had been stalking her for months during their roughly two‑year relationship.
- According to sworn testimony, the staffer ended contact on Dec. 8, reported the relationship to the university on Dec. 10, and Moore then allegedly entered her apartment without permission, grabbed knives and threatened self‑harm; Moore denied assaulting or threatening her with weapons.
- Moore was arraigned Dec. 12 on third‑degree home invasion (felony) plus misdemeanor stalking and entering without permission, released on $25,000 bond with GPS, mental‑health treatment and strict no‑contact conditions, and is due back in court Jan. 22, 2026.
- Washtenaw County prosecutors said available evidence supports the stalking charge and that investigators are still reviewing evidence and could add or amend charges, noting there is not currently proof beyond a reasonable doubt of intent to assault.
- The University of Michigan fired Moore for cause—voiding about $12.3 million in guarantees—retained Jenner & Block, and broadened its athletics review, while interim coach Biff Poggi leads the team toward its Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl game during an ongoing coaching search.
