“The new charge is under Subsection 3 — ‘He or she engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts which alarm or seriously annoy such other person and which serve no legitimate purpose.’”

The incident in question allegedly took place while Lee was in Buffalo during the NHL rookie combine. It is alleged that Lee touched the driver of a shuttle inappropriately and made several lewd remarks.

Lee, who was suspended by the Senators organization on June 15, is scheduled to appear in court on July 6.
