The lawyer for Ottawa Senators assistant general manager Randy Lee called harassment charges against his client ”baseless Greg Zuerlein Jersey ,” 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.

”There’s no violation of the law according to the claims being made,” Cambria said. ”We think they’re inappropriate, unsubstantiated and baseless.”

A spokeswoman for the Erie County district attorney’s office previously said prosecutors will oppose the motion to dismiss.

Lee was arrested May 31 after prosecutors say he continued placing his hands on the driver’s shoulders even after being told to stop. He also allegedly made a reference to his genitalia.

Prosecutors filed a second charge of harassment Graham Gano Jersey , which fell under a separate subsection of the legal code outlining the violation. It defines harassment as someone who ”repeatedly commits acts which alarm or seriously annoy” another person and ”serve no legitimate purpose.”

That’s different from the initial charge, which defines harassment as someone striking or making physical contact with another person.

Cambria said he was unaware of any video footage of what happened, but that he will consider filing a motion to have prosecutors turn over their evidence.

Cambria raised concern over whether Lee is being treated differently by prosecutors because of his high-profile job and the media attention the case has received.

”I’ve never seen anybody from the district attorney’s office have a press conference about a noncriminal violation,” Cambria said. ”Our hope is that this is handled for what it is, a low-level accusation Kyle Long Jersey , which my client vehemently denies.”

District Attorney John Flynn made himself available to reporters at his office following Lee’s initial arraignment on June 1. Flynn’s availability had to be moved to a larger room because of the number of reporters present.

Cambria also questioned the motives of the 19-year-old driver, who has hired attorney Charles Desmond. Cambria said he’s already been contacted by Desmond and informed of the possibility of the driver filing a civil suit against Lee and the Senators.

”That needs to be taken into consideration as to whether this is some sort of money grab,” Cambria said. ”I mean, this is a person who makes an allegation that his shoulder was rubbed and now is looking to be paid by the team.”

Desmond did not immediately respond to a message from The Associated Press seeking comment.

The New York Islanders have added eight more games to their regular-season schedule at their former home, Nassau Coliseum at NYCB Live in Uniondale Donte Moncrief Jersey , New York.

The Islanders played the last three seasons at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but it was not a popular move with their fans and the arena is more suited for basketball than hockey. They are building a new arena at Belmont Park, but will split their home games next season between Brooklyn and Uniondale.

Previously set to play 12 games at the revamped Coliseum, they now will have 20 in the 2018-19 season. The Belmont arena is scheduled to open in 2021.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo made the announcement Thursday about the added games at the Coliseum, saying: ”We’re bringing the Islanders home to Long Island and to the fans who have supported their team for decades. Until the grand opening of their new state-of-the-art arena at Belmont Park Mike White Jersey , the Islanders will reunite with their fans at Nassau Coliseum and build momentum for a long-awaited homecoming.”
