Peter Nygard sexual assault

Prosecutors in Toronto are seeking a 15-year prison sentence for former fashion mogul Peter Nygard, who was found guilty of four counts of sexual assault last November, dating back to incidents from the 1980s to mid-2000s. Crown attorney Neville Golwalla requested a 19-year sentence, accounting for Nygard's time already served. The sentencing has faced delays due to Nygard's previous defense lawyers withdrawing and his ongoing health issues. Nygard also faces additional charges in Manitoba and Quebec, as well as in the United States, where he was previously charged with sex trafficking. Despite his conviction in Toronto, Nygard has denied all allegations and has not been tried for the other charges. The complexities of his cases, including his health and legal representation, have significantly impacted the timeline of the sentencing proceedings.
