Senators assistant GM seeks dismissal of ‘baseless’ charge
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The lawyer for Ottawa Senators assistant general manager Randy Lee called harassment charges against his client “baseless,” and questioned if Lee was being treated fairly.
Attorney Paul Cambria made the comments Friday after a brief court hearing in which Lee pleaded not guilty to a second charge of harassment. He already had pleaded not guilty to a previous charge.
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 pre-draft scouting combine. He has been suspended by the Senators.
Cambria said he will argue to have the harassment charges dismissed on July 20, when Lee is next scheduled to appear in Buffalo city court.
