Two men's hockey recruits and a prospective recruit at Clarkson University are accused of having sexual contact with an underage girl.
State police charged 18-year-olds Jordan Ciccarello of New Hartford, Conn., and Patrick McEachen, of Stouffville, Ontario, with sexual misconduct and child endangerment, both misdemeanors. The incident reportedly happened on campus in early July at a hockey camp.
Jordan A. Ciccarello, 18, of New Hartford, Conn., made the pleaded "not guilty" Wednesday before Village Court Judge Joseph T. Welch.
Clarkson prospective recruit Demetri J. Sakaris, 19, Candiac, Quebec, also appeared in court on charges of sexual misconduct and child endangerment.
Judge Welch adjourned their arraignments because paperwork from state police didn't arrive until after court started. Clarkson coach George Roll attended the court hearings.
Mr. Ciccarello and Mr. McEachen, both defensemen, were expected to play this season for the Golden Knights. Mr. Sakaris was looking to attend Clarkson to play hockey for the 2011-12 campaign.
State police say the investigation is continuing.
A Clarkson spokeswoman says the school is cooperating with police and conducting its own investigation. The school could penalize the two freshmen based on their findings. The players' status with the hockey team was unclear.
