Former Ottawa Senators assistant general manager Randy Lee pleaded guilty to a harassment charge stemming from an incident in May involving a hotel shuttle driver, the Canadian Press reported.

Lee entered the plea Thursday before his nonjury trial was set to begin.

The 57-year-old had been charged with making lewd comments and rubbing the shoulders of a 19-year-old male driver at the NHL's pre-draft scouting combine in Buffalo. He originally pleaded not guilty.

For his guilty plea, Lee was sentenced to time already served - one night in jail - and paid a surcharge of $120.

He was suspended by the Senators in June and later resigned in August after spending 23 years with the organization.
