A person believed to be connected to Moore, whose LinkedIn profile lists her as the executive assistant head football coach at the University of Michigan, earned just over $58,000 in 2023 and 2024, according to publicly available salary information. However, her salary jumped to $99,000 in fiscal year 2025, according to salary report from the University of Michigan.

At Moore's arraignment Friday, prosecutors said he and the employee had been in an “intimate relationship for a number of years,” which they said the woman ended Monday. Prosecutors also allege that Moore sent several text messages and made phone calls, prompting 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 Fox News Digital.

However, it is unclear Lee Moore will return home to his family.

Moore's lawyer, Joseph Simon, spoke to reporters at the Ann Arbor courthouse on Friday and declined to say whether the coach would go home to his wife and three children.

“I’m just not going to answer that question,” Simon said when asked if Moore “would be able to come home.”

Moore has been married to Kelly since 2015 and they have three daughters, Shiloh, Soleil and Sadie. Simon also declined to comment on his client's “mood” following Moore's arraignment.

Conditions of Moore's release require him to wear a GPS harness and continue mental health treatment, and prohibit him from contacting the victim.

Moore was fired Wednesday, and the University of Michigan quickly announced it had found credible evidence that he had an “inappropriate relationship” with an employee. Moore was then detained by police Wednesday after his dismissal was announced.

Moore appeared in court Friday on charges of stalking and home invasion. According to the prosecutor's office, he faces criminal charge third-degree home invasion and two misdemeanors of stalking and breaking and entering without the owner's permission.

Prosecutors said Moore “terrorized” the employee and that they considered him a “risk to public safety.”
