A newly-filed US civil suit claims Daryl Katz, owner of the Edmonton Oilers, paid a teenage dancer $75K in exchange for "sexual favours."

“Humphries was literally a child prostitute to a billionaire,” the claim says. The cross-claim says their “loving and supportive” affair began in 2017, when Humphries was 18, but alleges she had been involved in three prior sexual relationships as an underage teen with much older men, including Katz. “And her mother assisted her in laundering the money she was paid and in trafficking her to Katz.”

Canadian billionaire Daryl Katz was accused of having a sexual relationship with ballet dancer Sage Humphries when she was an underage teenager.

“Humphries was literally a child prostitute to a billionaire,” according to the claim, “and her mother assisted her in laundering the money she was paid and in trafficking her to Katz.” But during the period of time that the project was under consideration, they asked for some help to keep with the funding of the project to keep it going. He added, “Their counterclaims falsely implicate others and are an unfounded attempt to portray the women they abused as liars.” Speaking to CBC News, Klieger said his client never had a sexual relationship with the ballerina, but admitted the two met twice in 2016 to discuss a project the teen was pitching to the billionaire's film production house, Silver Pictures. The lawyer also said he couldn't verify the authenticity of the texts in the aforementioned court filing. According to Canadian outlet CBC News, the Buttons filed the third-party counterclaim alleging they were in a consensual "throuple sexual relationship" with Humphries when she was 18. He will send you 50K,” the billionaire then allegedly replied.

Mr. Katz has never met the Buttons, and their false accusations against him are a transparent and pathetic attempt to distract attention from the abhorrent acts with which they stand charged. There has never been a sexual relationship of any kind between Mr. Katz and Ms. Humphries. Critically, the allegations against Mr. Katz are not being made by Ms. Humphries. 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. Klieger added Katz will defend his reputation against the “baseless and scurrilous” claims in the suit. The claim describes a “loving and supportive” affair which began in 2017, when Humphries was 18, but alleges she had been involved in three previous sexual relationships involving older men, including Katz, when she was an underage teenager. “Daryl Katz denies the allegations against him by Mitchell Taylor Button and Dusty Button without reservation.

Katz has been named as a third-party defendant in a civil lawsuit that claims that he paid a teenage ballerina "at least $75000" for sexual favors.

Katz has been accused of paying for sex previously, reportedly propositioning a model and actress during a photo shoot, according to claims in a 2017 defamation lawsuit. "Mr. Katz has advised us that he categorically denies the allegations," the league said. In another text, he says that "even though u r wise beyond your years given our respective ages it would be taken the wrong way." Humphries' attorney, Sigrid McCawley, said in a statement to The Athletic that the Buttons' counterclaims "distort the truth." Those text messages do not indicate the purpose. Katz's lawyer, Robert Klieger, said in a statement to The Athletic that Katz denies the allegations brought against him by the Buttons, calling their accusations "baseless and scurrilous."
