Ottawa Senators assistant general manager Randy Lee has resigned amid charges of harassment stemming from an incident at the NHL scouting combine in May.
The team announced Lee’s resignation on Tuesday. Lee, who had been suspended by the Senators, says in a statement he is not in a position to fulfill his obligations with the team while his legal case is ongoing.
Lee is accused of making lewd comments and rubbing the shoulders of a 19-year-old male shuttle driver at the combine in Buffalo, New York. He pleaded not guilty.
The 56-year-old was scheduled to appear in court in Buffalo on Wednesday to argue motions, but that was pushed back to Sept.
