Former Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard has been found guilty of four counts of sexual assault in a Canadian court but was acquitted of a fifth count plus a charge of forcible confinement
Peter Nygard, who once led a women’s fashion empire, was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault in a Canadian court on Sunday but was acquitted of a fifth count plus a charge of forcible confinement. The jury handed down the verdict on the fifth day of deliberations following a six-week trial in Toronto. Nygard, 82, had pleaded not guilty to all charges, which stemmed from allegations dating back from the 1980s to the mid-2000s.
Nygard testified in his own defense at the trial and denied all five women’s allegations, saying he didn’t even recall meeting or interacting with four of them. He insisted he would never engage in the type of conduct he was accused of, and said no one could have been locked inside his private suite under any circumstances.
