Senators, former assistant GM sued by shuttle bus driver in harassment case Globe_Sports
Randy Lee and the Ottawa Senators were sued for negligence on Friday, May 17, 2109, over allegations he harassed a hotel shuttle bus driver last year in Buffalo, N.Y.A former Ottawa Senators assistant general manager and the NHL hockey team were sued for negligence on Friday over allegations he harassed a hotel shuttle bus driver last year in Buffalo.
Also named as a defendant in the lawsuit along with Randy Lee and the Senators is a bar and grill called 716, where he had been a patron on the night of the incident. The suit seeks unspecified damages. Lee had already pleaded guilty to a criminal violation stemming from the encounter with the then-19-year-old driver that occurred while he was a passenger on the shuttle bus and still working for the Senators. The driver said Lee inappropriately touched himself while making lewd comments and rubbing his shoulders.
The suit says the Senators should be found liable because the team was aware of Lee’s alleged history of lewd behaviour and didn’t do enough to stop it. Finally, it says the owners of the sports bar and grill should share blame because employees there continued to serve drinks to Lee after he was visibly drunk.
Lee’s lawyer, Paul Cambria, said in a text message on Friday that he hadn’t yet read the lawsuit and declined comment. An attorney for the Senators, Dennis Vacco, said that the hockey club would “vigorously fight” what he called a “frivolous” civil complaint.The AP does not generally identify victims of a sex crime.
