The person allegedly linked to Moore, whose LinkedIn profile lists her as an executive assistant to the University of Michigan head football coach, earned just over $58,000 in 2023 and 2024, according to public payroll information. However, in fiscal year 2025, his salary jumped to $99,000, according to a salary disclosure report from the University of Michigan.
During Moore’s arraignment on Friday, prosecutors alleged that he and the employee had been in an “intimate relationship for several years,” which they say the woman ended on Monday. Prosecutors further claim that Moore sent multiple text messages and made phone calls that led the woman to report the situation to the university and cooperate with its investigation.
Moore was released from jail Friday on $25,000 bail, according to police records obtained by News Digital.
However, it is not clear yes moore He will return home to his family.
Moore’s attorney, Joseph Simon, declined to say whether the coach will return home to his wife and three children while speaking to reporters in an Ann Arbor courtroom on Friday.

“I’m just not going to answer that question,” Simon said when asked if Moore “could go home.”
Moore has been married to his wife Kelli since 2015 and they have three daughters together: Shiloh, Solei and Sadie. Simon also declined to comment on his client’s “state of mind” after Moore was charged.
Conditions of Moore’s release require him to wear a GPS strap and continue mental health treatment and prohibit him from contacting the victim.
Moore was fired Wednesday, and the University of Michigan quickly announced that it had found credible evidence that he had an “inappropriate relationship” with an employee. Moore was then arrested by the police on Wednesday after news of his firing broke.
Moore was arraigned in court Friday on charges of harassment and criminal trespass. According to prosecutors, he faces one felony count of third-degree breaking and entering and two misdemeanor counts of stalking and breaking and entering without the owner’s permission.
Both misdemeanor charges are related to a “domestic relationship.”

When Moore was fired from his position as head coach, prosecutors said, it prompted him to visit the woman’s home.
Moore then allegedly “stormed” into the residence, grabbed a butter knife and a pair of kitchen scissors and began threatening his own life. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly told the employee, “My blood is on your hands” and “You ruined my life.”
Prosecutors claimed Moore “terrorized” the employee and that they believed he was a “risk to public safety.”
