I've been sitting on this since reading the CBC article. Now it has been mentioned in many places so as always, you can decide.

from Sportsnet,

Edmonton Oilers owner Daryl Katz is denying any wrongdoing after a civil lawsuit filed in Nevada earlier this month surfaced alleging he paid an underage ballerina at least $75,000 for sexual services.

The allegations were made in a third-party counterclaim by Mitchell Taylor Button, a dance teacher, and his wife, Dusty Button, a former member of the Boston Ballet, after a sexual abuse lawsuit by seven ballerinas, including lead plaintiff Sage Humphries, was filed against them in 2021.

The counterclaim states Katz paid Humphries "at least $75,000 for her sexual services while she remained underage."

The story was first reported by CBC News on Wednesday.

Katz is one of three men listed in the lawsuit to allegedly have been involved in sexual relations with a then-underage Humphries.
