Nygard Convicted: Fashion Mogul Found Guilty of Sexual Assault
13 Jul
Summary
- Peter Nygard found guilty of sexual assault and forcible confinement in Montreal.
- Charges stem from incidents that occurred in Montreal during the 1990s.
- Nygard, 84, offered no contest to evidence presented by prosecutors.
In Montreal, former fashion mogul Peter Nygard, 84, has been found guilty by a Canadian judge of sexual assault and forcible confinement. These convictions stem from incidents that allegedly occurred in Montreal during the 1990s. Nygard chose not to contest the evidence presented by prosecutors on the first day of his trial earlier this week.
This ruling comes subsequent to a 2024 sentence where Nygard received 11 years imprisonment for sexually assaulting four women in Toronto between the late 1980s and 2005. An appeal in that case was recently dismissed by an Ontario court. Further charges in Winnipeg were stayed last year due to issues with retained records.
Nygard, who has denied all allegations, is expected to be extradited to the US upon completion of his Canadian legal proceedings. US authorities allege a decades-long pattern of criminal conduct. His lawyer indicated Nygard intends to seek suspension of any extradition due to his age and health.
