Senators assistant GM seeks dismissal of harassment charges
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The lawyer representing Ottawa Senators assistant general manager Randy Lee tells The Associated Press he will enter a not guilty plea and file a motion to dismiss harassment charges during his client’s appearance Friday in Buffalo city court.
Attorney Paul Cambria declined further comment in a text sent Thursday to the AP.
A spokesman for the Erie County district attorney’s office said prosecutors would oppose the motion to have the charges dismissed.
The prosecution is scheduled to file a second charge of harassment against Lee, who has been suspended by the Senators. Lee is accused of making lewd comments and rubbing the shoulders of a 19-year-old male shuttle driver in May, when Buffalo was hosting the NHL rookie combine.
