Fashion mogul Peter Nygard faces sexual assault and forcible confinement charges in Montreal. Quebec prosecutors allege that, using his position, Nygard lured women and girls. The case is heard in Montreal court, where Nygard, an 84-year-old former founder of the now-defunct women’s apparel company Nygard International, denies the accusations. Reports describe the charges as including one count of sexual assault and one count of forcible confinement.
Subsequent reporting indicates the matter proceeds to a decision by a Court of Quebec judge in Montreal. Global News reports that the judge finds Nygard guilty of sexual assault and forcible confinement. Other coverage frames the case as beginning with the criminal trial in Montreal and emphasizes Nygard’s denial of wrongdoing. The available accounts focus on the allegations, the court process, and the outcome reported as a guilty verdict.
