EL SEGUNDO, CA — On June 11, Los Angeles Kings assistant coach Mark Hardy resigned his position with the team in the wake of the fourth-degree sexual abuse charge he is facing in Washington, D.C., following a May 21 incident.

Hardy, in his second stint with the Kings as an assistant coach, also played two stints with the Kings as a defenseman (1979-88 and 1992-94) during his 15-year playing career in the National Hockey League.

His first stint with the Kings as an assistant coach was from 1999-2006.

The Kings had no comment on Hardy’s resignation, other than to say that a search for his replacement will begin immediately.
 
Third Degree/Fourth Degree Sexual Abuse

While the 1st and 2nd degree offenses address a sexual act (penetration, for example), sexual abuse of the 3rd and 4th degrees address sexual contact (for example, inappropriate touching). The difference between the 3rd and 4th degree offenses is then the same as the difference between the 1st and 2nd degrees. That is, 3rd degree involves actual force, threats putting the person in fear of death, bodily injury or kidnapping, or rendering the person unconscious. The 4th degree offense involves reasonable fear of any type of injury or a victim who is already unconscious.

The penalty for someone convicted of 3rd degree sexual abuse is a maximum fine of $100,000 and up to 10 years imprisonment. The penalty for 4th degree sexual abuse is a maximum fine of $50,000 and a maximum sentence of 5 years. D.C. Criminal Code 22-3004; D.C. Criminal Code 22-3005.
