Erin Skalde, the wife of former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton assistant coach Jarrod Skalde, is expected to file a civil lawsuit in state court Rhode Island on Tuesday detailing the alleged sexual assault by then-Wilkes-Barre head coach Clark Donatelli on Nov. 2018, and a team cover-up that followed.
According to a press release from Skalde's legal team Romanucci & Blandin on Tuesday, the defendants in the suit will be the Penguins organization, Donatelli, Bill Guerin, Mario Lemieux, and Ron Burkle.
In the release, the legal team says that "the team's handling of the incident included Jarrod being told to keep quiet by organization management, Erin being called a liar and never being interviewed as part of the team's investigation, along with Jarrod being fired from the organization.
