Conviction and Sentence
Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard, a close associate of Prince Andrew, is set to be jailed after being found guilty of sexually assaulting four women. Nygard, 82, has been compared to Epstein with 60 women suing him. He will appear in a Toronto court today for sentencing.
Modus Operandi
The women described how Nygard would lure them in with fake job interviews, promising connections in the fashion industry. However, their encounters with him ended in sexual activity they did not consent to. Nygard's lawyers labeled the accusers as "gold diggers," while his victims called him a "monster."
Impact on Victims
The victims shared harrowing details of how the assaults left them with depression, anxiety, and ruined careers. One woman, now 63 years old, expressed deep sadness over the lack of love in her life due to the trauma inflicted by Nygard.
Additional Charges
Besides the current conviction, Nygard faces sexual assault and sex trafficking charges in Montreal, Winnipeg, and the US. He has denied all wrongdoing in these cases, which have not yet gone to court.
Request for Sentencing
The Crown prosecutor has asked for a 15-year sentence, emphasizing the long struggle for justice faced by the victims. Nygard's lawyer, on the other hand, cited his age, deteriorating health, chronic pain, type 2 diabetes, and glaucoma as reasons for a shorter sentence.
Background of Peter Nygard
Nygard founded a successful fashion firm in Winnipeg in 1967 and built an empire with nearly 170 stores. He socialized with political leaders, Hollywood stars, and even dined with the late Queen Elizabeth. Nygard invited Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson to his Bahamas estate in 2000.
