An NHL team owner is denying an allegation that he paid an underage ballerina at least $75,000 for 'sexual favors,' a claim made in a civil action filed by two noted ballet figures who are themselves being sued for alleged sexual misconduct.

Humphries claimed in her lawsuit that the Buttons took an interest in her as a young dancer before they both sexually assaulted her. "If Sage is truly the damaged flower she claims to be, the price should be paid — but it should be paid by those who actually engaged in illegal acts with her.""Humphries was literally a child prostitute to a billionaire, and her mother assisted her in laundering the money she was paid and in trafficking her to Katz," according to Randazza.
"Critically, the allegations against Mr. Katz are not being made by Ms. Humphries," Klieger said. "The accusations are instead being made by the Buttons, who Ms. Humphries and six other women have accused of exploiting their position of power and influence in the dance world to sexually abuse young dancers across the country."
There was no time stamp on the alleged text messages, but the counterclaim said Katz, now 61, was 53 at the time at the time of the digital chat. "Sage had a business relationship with Mr. Katz and there was never any sexual relationship between them," McCawley told NBC News on Thursday.
