He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment last week and was released. Donatelli is charged in connection with an alleged incident from November 2018. The Penguins this month settled a lawsuit filed by a former minor league assistant and his wife, who said a coach sexually assaulted her in Rhode Island that same month.
