News summary

Peter Nygard, the former Canadian fashion mogul, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison after being found guilty of four counts of sexual assault involving five women, including a 16-year-old girl, at his Toronto office between the 1980s and 2005. Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Goldstein described Nygard as a 'sexual predator' who exploited his wealth and status to prey on vulnerable women. Despite facing a Crown request for a 15-year sentence, the judge noted Nygard's health issues and time served, allowing for eligibility for parole in two years. The court heard harrowing testimonies from the victims, who were lured under false pretenses to Nygard's headquarters. Nygard, 83, maintains his innocence and plans to appeal the conviction while facing additional charges related to sex trafficking in multiple jurisdictions. His case signifies a dramatic fall from grace for a man who once commanded a multimillion-dollar fashion empire.
