TORONTO — The number of charges in the Toronto sexual-assault case against Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard have been reduced from 11 to six.
Jury selection was set to get underway Monday for Nygard's trial but was postponed to next week after a court heard some complainants aren't expected to testify.
Crown lawyer Neville Golwalla told Justice Robert Goldstein in a downtown Toronto courtroom Monday that three of the eight original complainants in the case are not expected to testify. Court documents show Nygard is now facing trial in Toronto on five charges of sexual assault and one charge of forcible confinement.
He was first arrested in Winnipeg in 2020 under the Extradition Act after he was charged with nine counts in New York, including sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
